At 3 am on June 18th, in the first round of Group D of the Euro Cup, Austria faced France. French player Kylian Mbappe attended the pre-match press conference.
Mbappe addressed the issue of the Olympics during the press conference, stating, “Real Madrid’s stance is very clear, and I think I won’t be participating in the Olympics, as I have just joined Real Madrid, and I can understand the club’s position. For this French Olympic team, I will wish them all the best and hope they win the gold medal on home soil.”
The Paris Olympics are set to commence on July 26, with football matches starting on July 24. This would be less than ten days after the conclusion of the Euro Cup, and with the new La Liga season kicking off on August 18, Mbappe’s participation in the Olympics would pose a significant challenge for Real Madrid’s preparations.
