Kylian Mbappé wants to erase bad memory of decisive penalty miss and leave the 2024 European Championship as a winner.
The last time Kylian Mbappé kicked a ball at the European Championship, it sent France out of the competition. He was the only player to miss in a penalty shootout against Switzerland, and France was eliminated from Euro 2020 in the round of 16 in a game where they led 3-1. Mbappé, who received hateful abuse online following the miss, is desperate to make amends at Euro 2024 in Germany.
'I've always wanted to shine for Les Bleus,' the 25-year-old Mbappé said on June 4 before a friendly against Luxembourg. 'I've always felt this pride, this ambition to leave my mark on French soccer.' With 47 international goals, he is third on the all-time scoring list behind Giroud and Thierry Henry .
