Euro 2020
Killian Ambape absorbs fire and apologizes: "I failed, it will be hard to digest"
Missing the crucial penalty against Switzerland has signed PSG star's 'nightmare tournament', which takes responsibility: "The pain is huge, I will have a hard time sleeping at night".
Deschamps and Loris back him up, but the photos after the miss illustrate that "he is isolated in the locker room," and commentators kill: "His conduct is shameful."

Summary of Switzerland's sensational victory over France on penalties in the Euro 2020 quarterfinals (Sport 1)
57 touches on the ball, 6 threats to the goal, 0 kicks to the frame, 0 goals - and a fatal penalty miss: Killian Ambape's dismal euro came to an end last night (Monday) with a fitting final act, which led to the relegation of the world champions France after a duel from the penalty spot with Switzerland. Ambape did cook twice in the game, although he was quite active on offense, but after a disappointing tournament at the team, individual and leadership level, most of the fire is directed at him. After the game, commentators in France referred to his miss as a symbolic finishing chord for the recent period, in which he managed to quarrel with Olivier Giroud, take the role of free-kicker from Antoine Griezmann, and generally present controversial conduct.
"Killian is one of the best players in the world, that's clear. But if he allows himself to behave as shamefully as he did in this tournament, it's the team's fault. Someone probably opened the door for him, and he took advantage of it," said French TV commentator Gov. Rum rumbling.
"Didier Deschamps allowed him to do things he would not allow anyone to do. This is where the problem begins. At this point, he and Ambape failed together."

L'Aquip noted the fact that Ambape went down to the locker room immediately after the miss and the loss, with only a few players from the squad approaching to comfort him.
In fact, only Persephone Kimpamba and Luca Dean approached the Paris Saint-Germain star when he went down frustrated.
"This picture illustrated how Killian isolated himself in the locker room. That was not the case in his previous campaigns in the national uniform," they noted.
Ambepa declined to be interviewed after the game, and after he calmed down a bit posted an apology on Instagram.
"It will be very difficult to digest it and move on. The sadness is deep after this dismissal, because we have not been able to meet our goals," he wrote.
"I apologize for this penalty. I wanted to help the team, but I failed. I will have a hard time sleeping the next few nights, but these are the risks involved in an industry I love so much. I know the fans are disappointed, but still want to say thank you for the support. Stronger for the next challenges. "

Hugo Loris referred to Ambape's miss and backed him up.
"We win together and lose together. We are all equally responsible, and when dismissed at this point and in this way, it always hurts. But you can't point the finger of blame at just one player."
Didier Deschamps also made similar remarks: "Killian is taking responsibility. He feels guilty, but he should not, because it is not his fault."
Deschamps insisted that "the team has been united throughout the tournament, and will continue to be so," although reports of ego battles in the locker room are growing, and now the dismissal is raising rumors.
