In the Euro semi-final, Kylian Mbappe assisted Mouani’s opening goal, but Yarmal and Olmo scored two quick goals in five minutes, ultimately leading to France’s 2-1 defeat and elimination by Spain. After the game, French captain Kylian Mbappe spoke to the media.
Mbappe said, “We faced a strong opponent who played better than us. Football is straightforward; there’s no need to overcomplicate it. You either perform well or you don’t. I didn’t perform well, and we’re heading home – it’s as simple as that.”
“The truth is we took the lead first, then conceded two goals quickly, and in the second half, we couldn’t equalize. There are times when comebacks are just not possible, that’s football.”
“Before the match, I decided not to wear a mask, I was fed up with it. I asked the team doctor, and he said it was my call. I had ambitions to become European champions, but unfortunately, my performance wasn’t good. My Euro journey has been a failure. Next, I’m going on vacation for some rest, which will be very beneficial for me, striving to return to top form. It’s crucial for me to have a good rest and then start anew, with new goals to achieve.”
