According to RMC Sport, Kylian Mbappe has taken over free-kick duties from Antoine Griezmann for France's remaining Euro 2020 matches.

Even though Griezmann is yet to score from a direct set-piece for Barca so far, the 30-year-old netted seven free-kick goals in 39 attempts during his time at Atletico Madrid.
