On July 15, 2018, the France team was crowned world champion. Already present with the Blues, Kylian Mbappé is determined to put the cover back.
Time flies and it’s already been five years since the Blues lifted the trophy in Russia. Crowned world champions after winning in the final against Croatia (4-2), Didier Deschamps and his men did not go far from the “back-to-back” four and a half years later on the side of Qatar. Beaten on penalties by Lionel Messi’s Argentina, the Blues must now wait until 2026 to try to get their hands on the famous golden trophy. Kylian Mbappé is in any case determined.
This is what he clearly said on July 15, 2023. The Paris Saint-Germain player wanted to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his first star in the tricolor jersey in his own way by posting a message on his social networks. A short video with images of the 2018 World Cup, but above all a few words in the caption: “ Five years already… Do everything to relive this kind of experience again. “A way for the captain of the France team to announce the color for the years to come.
Euro 2024 in sight
And before thinking of the 2026 World Cup to be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the Blues will have the opportunity to fight for a new trophy during Euro 2024 organized in Germany. As a reminder, the last Euro won by France dates back more than twenty years. It was in 2000, and it was Didier Deschamps’ last international match. There is no doubt that the current tricolor coach hopes that the wish expressed this Saturday by Kylian Mbappé will come true as soon as possible.
