Despite taking an early lead thanks to Randal Kolo Muani’s goal in the 8th minute, the French team could not maintain their advantage and had to accept a 1-2 defeat against Spain. This result meant that “Les Bleus” had to stop at EURO 2024.
Kylian Mbappe and the French team disappointed at EURO 2024.
Although this achievement is not too bad, with the star squad that the 55-year-old coach owns, the fans of the blue team have every right to regret. As for Kylian Mbappe personally, EURO 2024 is truly a huge disappointment.
It didn’t take long for Kylian Mbappe to sum up his record at the tournament in Germany: 1 goal, 1 assist, 1 cross leading to an own goal, 1 broken nose and the feeling that he was never fit, nor really suited to this French team.
The broken nose certainly changed things for the player, not just physically. He could have even been sent home after the collision with Kevin Danso. Although the 25-year-old avoided surgery and was able to continue playing, playing with a mask was really difficult.
The story of France’s failure is not simply about Kylian Mbappe’s mask. At this point in his career, the EURO has not been a tournament for him. It was a struggle three years ago, and now it is a nightmare, even if things should be positive.
In his first major tournament as France captain, the 25-year-old striker had the chance to follow in the footsteps of Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane, the No. 10s who helped Les Bleus reach the top of Europe. However, there are signs that the striker’s dream will not come true.
Kylian Mbappe’s second half of the 2023/2024 season at Paris Saint-Germain was problematic. He played only 50% of the available minutes and lost a lot of motivation. This caused the French captain to struggle to adapt to the rest, leading to a confusing feeling of being lost.
Didier Deschamps’ men have not been at their best at the Allianz Arena, and neither has Kylian Mbappe. Matches like this illustrate how much Les Bleus rely on their No. 10. They need him to be at his best, not just barely, every round.
Kylian Mbappe will have to wait another 4 years to dream of winning the EURO championship.
This summer was a great opportunity for the former AS Monaco striker to reach the top of Europe, but he and his teammates missed it. Now, Kylian Mbappe will have to wait another 4 years to continue his hope . By then, the player will be 29 years old. EURO 2028 could be his last chance to complete the collection of titles with “Les Bleus”.
