At a press conference, Didier Deschamps praised Kylian Mbappé. Back in the selection after two trucers where he had been put aside, the Real Madrid star fully fulfilled his role as a leader, even without finding the net. Despite this long series without scoring, the former PSG player showed the example on the field and in the locker room:
“”He is radiant, Kylian has been a great leader since the start of the week, with very fair speeches on the field and outside, a lot of enthusiasm and will, and he was the leader to prepare for this match too. He had a difficult period, we are not going to come back, but he took the relay of Lloris and Varane very well after the 2022 World Cup. He was a great player and it was a great leader and captain on this gathering»»
