The failure in the World Cup final must still be digested in France. But among the players, it is the desire to take revenge that predominates, while a third world title is hoped for soon.
A few centimeters away, France almost became the third country in history to achieve the double in the World Cup, after Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil of Pelé (1958 and 1962). But the Blues failed on penalties after an incredible match against Argentina. A very good performance for the French team, which was also deprived of many important players such as Maignan, Benzema, Pogba, Lucas Hernandez, Nkunku, Kimpembe or Kanté. But Didier Deschamps’ players were able to count on a Kylian Mbappé still able to carry his team, as was the case in 2018.

The French striker has already had the chance, or the merit, of winning a world title, which many players have obviously never experienced. But he does not want to stop there, and warns in an interview with France Football that France will again lift the World Cup in the coming years, he who still has 10 years of high level football ahead of him. .
If France lost, it was because it had to lose.
“ If we lost, we had to lose. I assume it’s always like that. I see things that way. This is only a postponement. I think we’ll win another one. The group has this desire, this dream. I hope to say in a few years that it was bad for good, even if losing a World Cup final will remain a bad thing forever. But I’ve learned to live with it and it’s no longer a pain for me. It’s part of history, it’s in the past.”delivered Kylian Mbappé, who knows that the digestion of this final lost on penalties, the second for France after that of the band to Zidane in 2006, will be decisive for the future of the Blues.
