This summer, Kylian Mbappé made World Cup history by finishing top scorer in the 2026 edition (10 goals). Better still, the captain of the France team has even become the best gunner in the history of the tournament (22 goals). However, he failed to lift the coveted trophy for the second time in his career. Beaten by Spain in the semi-final, France was absolutely no match for La Roja. Asked by A.S.Mbappé explained what went wrong.
“They won, and in football, when you win, you are right. I think we failed in our game plan from the start and then, against a team that likes to keep the ball, to have possession, with a goal behind, it’s always more difficult. It was not a good day, and in the World Cup, it’s not like in the Champions League: there is no return match. We didn’t play the game we needed to, that’s simple, and I think it was an opportunity for us, but we’re going to work to get others.”he confided.
