During a press conference ahead of Les Bleus' EURO 2024 opening game against Austria, there was some sincere laughter

Genuine press conferences ahead of football games tend to be dull, similar, and predictable. Talking about the next rival, their virtues and qualities, expectations... Yet, sometimes, something unexpected happens and it turns into an actual show. Just like it did with the French national football team on Saturday, faced the press at their camp ahead of their opening EURO 2024 game against Austria on Monday.

Marcus Thuram was there to talk to journalists and answer their questions, but all of a sudden, the seriousness vanished as one reporter made a bizarre mistake, calling Thuram by Mbappe's name, Kylian.

Responding to the reporter, Thuram joked: "Kylian? I'm more handsome than Kylian. I don't look like a ninja turtle."

He then flashed a big smile to the media to make sure that they knew he was joking about his teammate.
