Original: Upamecano qui a failli mettre un coup de boule à un italien prend ensuite un rouge... C'est bien l'équipe de France de Z

Dayot Upamecano nearly headbutted an Italian opponent before later being shown a red card, an incident drawing mockery from French supporters frustrated with the national team's discipline. Some fans sarcastically quipped that such behaviour fits the French side "of Zizou" — a reference to Zinedine Zidane's infamous 2006 World Cup final headbutt — as reactions to the France-Italy match circulate online.
