FANS weren't impressed by Kylian Mbappe's half-time antics during France's Euro 2024 semi-final loss to Spain.

The Frenchman could be seen swapping shirts with a Spain player as he left the pitch at half-time, despite France trailing 2-1.

Mbappe, 25, got things off to a good start for his French side when he set up Randal Kolo Muani in the eighth minute to put France 1-0 up.

But Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo quickly struck back for Spain to wipe the smiles of French supporters watching on and make the score 2-1 before the half-time whistle.

So fans were even more confused when they saw that Mbappe was swapping shirts at the break while his side were trailing.

Many took to social media to voice their opinions with one supporter even suggesting that famous straight-talker and Manchester United hero Roy Keane would be fuming at the idea of a half-time shirt swap.

One wrote: "Mbappe swapping shirts at half time, somewhere there is a Roy Keane screaming at a TV."

While another added: "Mbappe swapping shirts at HT, a bit weird given your team is down."

Roy Keane's angriest moments

What really ticks off Roy Keane?

The Irishman is known for his no-nonsense approach to football.

And some particular things really do get on Keane's wick.

It all makes for great entertainment for fans, who love the Man United legend's take on the beautiful game.

But is Keane being a bit too sensitive himself?

From smiling players to ABBA, nothing is sacred.

And we all know about his dislike for a prawn sarnie...

Here are the things that really make Roy Keane angry.

A third commented: "Kylian Mbappe swapping shirts at half time. What's that all about?"

And a fourth joked: "Mbappe swapping shirts at half time - give him and the Spanish player life time bans now."

It wasn't clear who Mbappe had swapped shirts with from the Spain side, with footage just showing the star heading down the tunnel topless with a Spanish shirt in his hand.

But the unusual act had certainly caused a stir online.

Mbappe's premature shirt swap was made worse come the full-time whistle after France were knocked out of the competiton.

Spain played spectacularly to hold onto their 2-1 lead and book a spot in Sunday's final.
