Mbappe is open about his desire to win individual and team crowns with France.

Kylian Mbappe spoke to CNN and BeIN Sport about the French team’s EURO 2024 campaign. The 25-year-old striker aims to win the EURO, the only prize he needs at the national team level, after winning the World Cup and UEFA Nations League crowns. This is the only title that reminds me after everything for the national team after winning the World Cup and Nations League.”

At 2:00 a.m. on June 18, France will play Austria in the group stage opener. This match is important to Mbappe, the team, and the home fans: “I want to win the opener. As captain, the match is crucial to me, the country, and the supporters. We want them to feel proud of the squad.”

A tight penalty shootout against Switzerland in the eighth round of EURO 2020 ended Mbappe and France’s run. The 25-year-old attacker is determined to make his mark in his second time playing in Europe’s top team competition: “Euro 2021 is held in numerous nations, so everything is strange. Now I want to mark the tournament.”

Mbappe also mentioned his Golden Ball goal in the interview. Due to PSG’s poor performance in the 2023/24 Champions League, the 25-year-old star only hopes EURO can contend for football’s most coveted individual title with Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.

I still want the Golden Ball. I aspired to be the best player since childhood. Mbappe said he wants to grow but never lose his love of football.
