Internet users noticed an interesting episode during the France and Norway match.

In the 86th minute, Kylian Mbappe, who was substituted, temporarily handed the captain's armband to match referee Michael Oliver, who was instructed to pass the armband to another experienced French player Aurélien Tchouaméni.

This could have happened due to newly introduced FIFA rules, as the substituted player must leave the pitch within 10 seconds.

Indeed, although in a joking manner, this contributes to the narrative that has been gaining momentum towards the end of the season, suggesting that K. Mbappe is a dictator in the "Real" locker room and in teams in general.
