France and Germany are among the favourites to win Euro 2024 tournament on July 14, 2024. Both teams played in a friendly match on March 23, 2024, where the German side won 2-0.
In an interview, the winger downgraded the Germany friendly match win against France on March 23, 2024, saying, “Friendlies don’t count. Jokes aside, they have a great team. The Germans are always there when something is on the line. They always come back from setbacks.”
He was then asked which team he wanted to face in the Euro 2024 Final, Mbappe said, “Germany vs. France in the final? I would sign that.”
In his interview with CNN News, Mbappe revealed his desire to win the Euro title, stating it was the only tournament he had failed to win at the international level.
He said “I won the World Cup. I won the Nations League. That’s the only one that missed me with the national team after I did everything with the national team.”
“I really want to win this. It’s my first competition as captain, so it’s really important for me, and it’s always important for the country, and we want them to be proud of us.”
The France national team are going into the tournament with world-class players like Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele, Marcus Thuram, Randal Kolo Muani, Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, and many more.
