Kylian Mbappé Opens Up After the French Defeat in the Euro 2024 Semi-Final Against Spain.
French forward Kylian Mbappé (25 years old, 84 caps, and 48 goals) admitted he didn’t play well in the match against Spain (1-2) this Tuesday in the Euro 2024 semi-final.
Having scored only one penalty goal throughout the tournament, the French captain acknowledged his disappointing personal performance. « We faced a good team; they played well and we didn’t. They are going to the final, we are out—that’s the reality of football. We scored first, conceded two quick goals, and despite having opportunities, we couldn’t come back. That’s football. »
« The mask? I was fed up with it. I asked the doctor if I could take it off, and he said it was up to me. My performance? Difficult, failed. I wanted to be European champion, but we aren’t. It’s a failed competition, that’s football. We need to move on. It’s been a long year, I will go on vacation, which will do me good. I wasn’t good, we are going home. I need to rest, then I’ll start a new life, with new things to do, » commented the Real Madrid player in the mixed zone.
