姆巴佩点杀巴拉圭，握手风波引爆赛后讨论
法国1-0淘汰巴拉圭进入世界杯八强，但赛后门将吉尔因握手被无视向姆巴佩掷球，为本场高强度对抗再添争议插曲。
2026年世界杯1/8决赛，法国在费城林肯金融球场凭借姆巴佩第70分钟的点球，1-0艰难淘汰巴拉圭，延续了五战全胜且仅失两球的完美战绩。然而，终场哨响后的冲突抢走风头：巴拉圭门将吉尔走向法国队长姆巴佩试图握手，却被无视而过，愤怒之下他捡起皮球掷向对方后背，姆巴佩未予理睬继续庆祝。
整场比赛弥漫着南美球队标志性的硬朗与挑衅。巴拉圭以凶悍防守和频繁犯规打乱法国节奏，第34分钟姆巴佩被中场库巴斯放倒后，双方发生大规模推搡，但主裁未向任何巴拉圭球员出示黄牌，法国队反而有3人染黄。全场姆巴佩遭遇多次身体接触与言语攻击，但他保持冷静，并在下半场通过VAR认定的点球一锤定音。
赛后，吉尔向拉美媒体解释道：“我只想致意，他就像看不起人，没看我，只是笑。”他同时强调南美足球的对抗传统：“在南美我们习惯了身体接触，他们似乎不适应，我们想把这种风格带到场上。”欧洲舆论则援引法国主帅德尚的批评——“他们使出了所有伎俩”——并指出巴拉圭未因粗野动作受罚。姆巴佩本人回应：“我们知道比赛会是什么样子，我们也可以踢‘丑陋足球’，他们以为我们会穿着燕尾服上场，但我们准备好了。”这番话被看作对南美战术的强硬回击。
法国凭借本场胜利，以无可撼动之势挺进四分之一决赛，将与摩洛哥争夺一个半决赛席位——后者在上届世界杯曾将法国队拖入点球大战。姆巴佩打入个人本届第7球，追平梅西在射手榜的成绩，距阿根廷人保持的世界杯总进球纪录仅差1球，而巴拉圭虽败犹荣，继上轮点球淘汰德国后，再度让夺冠热门惊出一身冷汗。
