On Tuesday night, the French team was outclassed by Spain (0-2) in the semi-final of this 2026 World Cup.

Les Bleus captain Kylian Mbappé tried to put his disappointment into words at the final whistle.

"Like everyone, I'm deeply disappointed. It was a dream for us to reach the final, to give our country the chance to keep dreaming and to make history. Now, it's something we have to face with our heads held high. I don't think I can really put into words how disappointed the group and I are. But like every top-level player, even if it sounds a bit robotic, we have to lift our heads, go on holiday and come back for something new. Because football waits for no one, we have to learn and move on to put this failure behind us," said the Real Madrid striker to M6.
