Kylian Mbappé must lead the France team to Germany this summer to conquer a third continental title. Yes but in what condition?

Kylian Mbappé said goodbye to PSG with a victory in the Coupe de France, Saturday evening, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d’Ascq. Mute for the occasion, the person concerned thus ended his season with 44 goals on the clock, for 47 matches played. With a little taste of unfinished business no doubt given its sluggish performances in recent weeks.

Particularly attentive to the performances of the capital club, Daniel Riolo does not hide his concern about the current level of the captain of the Blues, three weeks before the start of Euro 2024. “ It was Mbappé’s last match and it was not successful, it was like his last outings. It’s not in tune at all », Judges the polemicist journalist on RMC.

“He doesn’t have any juice…”

A new life will open up to him, with the Euro all the samecontinues the media personality. The Mbappé for several weeks now is not an Mbappé who can take the France team very far. Will Deschamps’ magical preparations work on him? But there he has no juice, he clearly has no juice… »

Yet Daniel Riolo recognizes it: in the state of mind, for his last with Paris, Kylian Mbappé responded: “ He had lots of good intentions, I even found him with better intentions than usual in his attitude but he has no juice. He came through the final quite anonymously. » An alarmist observation, certainly, but which echoes the analysis of other observers.

This last season is a bit paradoxical. In statistics it is still very good, but in the content it is much less soestimates Bixente Lizarazu as part of the Téléfoot show. So it was a season full of annoyances, not just his fault. Perhaps one season too many. This one wasn’t necessarily useful, and I think he really needed a new impetus and to move to a new club. »
