The Bayern striker, the Blues’ second-highest scoring team, had a shot saved by Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez as both teams drew 1-1 in a life-changing session, giving Albicelesta a chance to take the lead.
The Blues, who went back to 2-2 in regular time, then 3-3 in extra time, ended up losing 4-2 on penalties.
Midfielder Aurélien Chouameni, whose shot went out of bounds, and striker Randal Colo Mouani were also the victims of abuse on social media following France’s defeat.
