The French captain reflects on the defeat against Spain on Thursday in Stuttgart in the Nations League semi-finals.
Skip the ad Skip the adKylian Mbappé (striker and captain of the French team, after the 4-5 defeat against Spain ) : " In the heat of the moment, I would say that we played well. We had sequences of play that we haven't seen for a long time. We were able to keep the ball, have a structure and create chances. The problem is that we had a ten-minute gap in the first half and we conceded two goals. The same in the second half. You pay dearly for that in top-level matches, but it's encouraging. We have a long way to go towards the 2026 World Cup. We have to learn from each match. It's not enough, we're not winning and we're not consistent enough over 90 minutes, but there is improvement.
(on defensive problems and absences in this area) It's not an excuse. They are top-level players. They did what they could. They were still good. When you don't win, it's the negative points that will come out, but it's not all negative. We're pissed off, we wanted to win. We wanted to come back from behind. We're frustrated ." (on TF1)
