New details have emerged relating to alleged on-field bust ups between France's stars during their disastrous exit from Euro 2020 against Switzerland on Monday night.
The world champions crashed out of this summer's European Championship in the last-16 at the hands of the Swiss, throwing away a two-goal lead with ten minutes remaining before being dumped out on penalties.
Les Bleus were earmarked as strong contenders to lift the trophy on July 11, however there appears to be rifts within the squad after rumours emerged of an alleged feud between the families of Kylian Mbappe and Adrien Rabiot.
Mbappe missed the decisive spot kick for the world champions and Rabiot's mother, Veronique, reportedly asked Mbappe's father to 'reframe his son and make him less arrogant'.
She is also said to have asked Paul Pogba's family how he could have lost possession in midfield before the Swiss team countered and found the back of the net.
And according to French Football News, players were involved in rows during the shock defeat in Bucharest, with multiple flare ups occurring as Didier Deschamps' side spectacularly fell apart.
The French outlet reports that Rabiot and Pogba insulted each other throughout the match, with the Juventus star unhappy with the Man United midfielder's defensive workrate.
Real Madrid star Raphael Varane lambasted Benjamin Pavard for his poor defending. The Bayern Munich defender later blasted Pogba for not contributing defensively and Varane is said to have sided with Pavard during this exchange.
The alleged criticism of Pogba comes after he scored one of the goals of the tournament during the game with a sensational effort from distance and was Les Bleus' most potent threat going forwards.
The reported on-field rows adds to the heated exchanges between the players' families in Bucharest.
The families of other French stars were said to be 'shocked' by Veronique Rabiot's outburst and the timing of it, given they had just watched their relatives crash out of the tournament.
Mbappe has since apologised for missing the crucial penalty in his nation's shootout defeat by Switzerland.
He failed to score a goal during the entirety of the tournament and stepped up to take the fifth spot-kick with the underdogs having converted all of theirs, but his strike was parried away by Yann Sommer.
With Switzerland's players wildly celebrating around him, Mbappe cut an isolated figure as he walked off the field in the Romanian capital.
'Nobody can be annoyed with him. When you take the responsibility, it can happen. He is obviously very affected by it,' Deschamps said in a staunch defence of the PSG star.
On his future, he added: 'That is not the question. There is a unity and solidarity in this squad. I am responsible, when things go badly, I am with them, they are with me.
'We will need time to manage this. There are no magic formulas, there are balances for us to find in the future.'
