Mbappe, 26, started the game but needed to leave the pitch inside just nine minutes.

The forward could be seen fiddling with his boots on the touchline while the action continued.

It was then realised that his laces had snapped on his boot and a replacement was needed.

The commentators could not help but poke a bit of fun at the Galactico.

Another added: "Mbappe broke his laces and needs a new shoe LOL."

Manchester City took the lead in the match as Erling Haaland smashed his effort past Thibaut Courtois.

However, fans complained at the length of time that was needed for VAR to check the goal.

Minutes later Jack Grealish was forced off with an injury in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney was in attendance as he made his debut for Amazon Prime.

And he was quick off the mark to make a dig against the host team due to his background as at Manchester United player.
