The 2026 World Cup page is turned, and now everyone seems focused on this fairly crazy summer transfer window, marked by big cases like those leading to Yan Diomandé or Bradley Barcola. But, rather unexpectedly, Kylian Mbappé, currently on vacation while waiting to return to training under the orders of José Mourinho, wanted to send a message to the supporters of the Blues.
He thus sent a letter published in several media this Monday, in which he thanks the French fans for their support, just as he also addresses his teammates and Didier Deschamps. ” THANKS. A month of emotion. Overtaking. Pride in wearing the colors of France. Passion, above all, the same that drives us on the field and that drives you, in front of the screen as well as in the stands. This is what we experienced together, an incredible story. We do not bring back a collective trophy. It hurts and it will hurt for a while, I’m not going to lie to you about that.”he begins.
A poignant message
“I take the title of top scorer with pride, but it would have been so much better with the cup as well. Perhaps we owed you a better ending. But we don’t always choose the end of the story, we choose what we put in it, and we put everything in. Of that, we are proud. Thanks to my teammates. Without their work, their runs, their passes, without this team spirit which carried us from the first to the last match, I would never have been able to score so much. This title is as much that of the collective as it is mine. When I was little, I dreamed of playing in a World Cup, at least one. I played three, I won one and, this year, I had the pride of competing with the captain’s armband. I will never forget it. You stayed up late, sometimes until the dead of night depending on the time zone, to watch us play on the other side of the world, you found yourself at home, in bars, with family or friends, all over France and elsewhere.he continues.
“Others were closer to us, in the stadiums, flags on their shoulders. Children with shining eyes, men and women of all origins and all generations, gathered around the same pleasure, that of sharing. This is the strength of this sport. And you never gave up on us, even in the hardest times, even when we deserved it less. This story was written by several million hands, not just eleven on the ground, carried by the same fervor. To Didier, I have already said what I had to say, he knows it. Thanks to him, to all his staff too, physiotherapists, cooks, preparers, drivers, all those that no one ever sees and without whom none of this would be possible. And to those who welcomed us in the United States throughout this competition. Football, deep down, remains a game. A game that we take very seriously, that we work for a lifetime to try to master, but a game nonetheless, with its simple rules that have not changed since we started playing it: ball, goal, desire to score. This is why it brings us all together with the same passion. This World Cup ends, but the story continues. There will be other matches, other summer or winter evenings where we will all find ourselves watching the same game, with the same desire intact. We haven’t finished playing together. Thanks for everything. Kylian Mbappé »concluded the Madrilenian. Now, it’s time for a season that promises to be exciting for Madrid with the obligation, for him and for his partners, to win a major title…
