France captain Kylian Mbappe has admitted that his performance at the Euro 2024 in Germany was a ‘failure.’
The 25-year-old World Cup winner made the remarks after France lost 2-1 to Spain in Tuesday’s semi-final of the Euro 2024. The new Real Madrid forward only scored once – from the penalty spot – during the competition.
Mbappe who completed a £190 million dream move to Real Madrid this summer, captained France, one of the favourite nations to win the Euro 2024. Despite his stellar track record, including a hat-trick in the World Cup final in 2922, Mbappe struggled to make the expected impact.
Speaking after the match, the new Real Madrid star said his performance at the tournament was a ‘failure’.
“In football, you’re good or not good. I wasn’t good. My Euro was a failure,” Mbappe said.
