MY EURO WAS A FAILURE – MBAPPE
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
France captain Kylian Mbappe has described his Euro 2024 campaign as a failure.
Mbappe and his Les Blues teammates crashed out of this year’s European Championship after losing 2-1 to Spain.
France took a ninth minute lead through Randal Kolo Muani who nodded home Mbappe’s cross.
But goals from Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo in the 21st and 25th minutes secured a 2-1 win for Spain.
Mbappe only managed a goal throughout his participation in the tournament.
Following France’s ouster, the former Parsi Saint-Germain star admitted his performance was poor.
“In football you’re good or not good. I wasn’t good. My Euro was a failure,” he was quoted on Fabrizio Romano’s X handle.
“I wanted to be European champion… I will now go on holiday, I will rest well, it will do me a lot of good, then I will get ready to start a new life. There’s a lot to do.”
At the 2020 European Championship Mbappe and France got to the round of 16 and lost on penalties to Switzerland.
