Kylian Mbappé admitted his disappointment as France was defeated by Spain in the Euro 2024 semifinal, ending their dream of becoming European champions. Despite setting up an early lead for France, Mbappé's tournament was marred by injury and a lackluster performance, resulting in just one goal in five matches. The Real Madrid forward struggled with a mask following a broken nose and ultimately decided to ditch it, impacting his vision and play. France coach Didier Deschamps defended Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, acknowledging Spain's quality and the team's overall shortcomings. Looking ahead, Deschamps is expected to lead France into the 2026 World Cup, while Olivier Giroud may have played his final match for his country after a distinguished career. France's defeat serves as a humbling reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the need to regroup and prepare for future challenges.
