Belgium have apologized to Kylian Mbappe after they posted a video of their player Amadou Onana chanting that he will target Mbappe's leg during their Euro 1 round of 8 clash.
The video showed the Everton midfielder alongside Belgian comedian Pablo Andres singing a song about Mbappe.
The comedian sang: "Who will kick Mbappe's leg?", before Onana then sang, "Onana, Amadou Onana!".
After the video caused a huge backlash on social media, the Belgian Football Federation deleted it and later apologised. In the pre-match press conference, Belgium's media official Stefan Van Loock said their intention was not to attack anyone.
"It was not our intention to attack anyone. We've been working with comedian Pablo Andres for a long time, this video was supposed to be funny."
"But we have misunderstood this and would like to apologize to anyone who has felt offended by us. For us, this is the end of this problem", said Van Loock.
The two neighboring nations will face each other in the round of 1 on Monday, with the Belgians looking to avenge their 8-1 defeat by France in the 0 World Cup semi-finals. .
Even though many of the players from the "golden generation" have retired, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku have continued with their good performances, even the latter had three goals disallowed in the group stage.
France, on the other hand, has not yet met expectations considering the quality it possesses./Telegraph/
