Kylian Mbappe looked like he was in an MMA fight instead of a UEFA Euro match on Monday … ’cause the soccer superstar suffered a brutal injury that left his nose bleeding all over the field!
It just happened on the pitch minutes ago … during France’s tilt against Austria at the Düsseldorf Arena in Germany.
During the match, Mbappe — the French forward and captain of the team — smacked his face into the back of Austria defender Kevin Danso‘s shoulder … and he immediately fell to the ground in agony.

The 25-year-old’s crooked nose then started gushing blood — which was further proof the schnoz was busted.
Here’s the crazy part — Mbappe tried to play in the rest of the match after receiving medical treatment … but was eventually subbed out.
KYLIAN MBAPPE DOWN BLEEDING!

France won the contest 1-0 … and will now set its focus on a matchup with the Netherlands on Friday.
Chances are Mbappe will look a bit different next time he takes the pitch … as the superstar will definitely need a face covering for the foreseeable future.
Heal up, Mbappe!!
