The Belgian Football Federation (RBFA) apologized this Saturday, after publishing on its social networks, last Friday, a video in which it referred to Kylian Mbappé in terms considered threatening, before the duel with France, for round of 16 of the European Cup.
In the video, a comedian asks Amadou Onana who will attack Mbappé’s tibia in the match and the Belgian midfielder replies, laughing: “Onana!”
“We have worked with (the actor) Pablo Andrés several times. It was always in a humorous mood. This time, that was not the case. That’s why we removed the video,” said Stefan Van Loock, RBFA spokesperson at a press conference this Saturday.

“We want to apologize to anyone we may have offended. From our side, the matter is closed,” he added, two days before the duel between Belgium and France, for a place in the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
