Kylian Mbappe has scored only one goal since Euro 2024 began, from a penalty kick. And France, in general, has not scored a single goal from open play. Yes, it seems strange to say, but the world vice-champions reached the semi-finals without ever scoring except from penalties and a few own goals. On the subject, the new Real Madrid player expressed himself in this way to The Team:
“It’s difficult to answer because we are in euphoria. I don’t want to tell you nonsense: in the dressing room we didn’t say that we hadn’t scored a goal in the match yet. But yes, we will look into the matter together, but we must maintain this defensive solidity”.
How do you experience competition? You don’t have the same condition as usual.
“We have to get over this. These are the usual physical tantrums of a footballer. You have to keep this involvement and always be there for your teammates. I’ve always said: whatever happens, the important thing is to win. People thought it was a joke but here we are. I only scored one goal but we are in the semi-final and I am very happy.”
