Kylian Mbappe, the French football star, has expressed his ongoing ambition for more trophies despite his impressive achievements at a young age.
At just 18, Mbappe won the World Cup, one of football’s most prestigious trophies, and secured the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer. However, his quest for silverware is far from over.
Mbappe has yet to win a Champions League title at the club level, a Ballon d’Or recognizing the world’s best player, and a European Championship with the French national team. His immediate focus is on winning the Euro title.
France, armed with a squad rich in talent and depth, enters the competition as one of the favorites, bolstered by their recent global success.
Mbappe’s personal goal is to clinch the Golden Boot at the Euros, solidifying his status as one of the top players in the world. His hunger for victory and drive to achieve more highlights his determination to leave an even greater mark on the football world.
Speaking to CNN, Mbappe expressed his desire to clinch the Euro 2024 title with Les Bleus on German soil.
“I want to win the Euros. I have to be honest,” he said.
“I won the World Cup. I won the Nations League. That’s the only one that has eluded me with the national team after I did everything with the national team.
“I really want to win this. It’s my first competition as captain, so it’s really important for me, and it’s always important for the country. We want them to be proud of us.
“[It’s] another opportunity to write the history of my country.”
The 25 year-old is not oblivious of the huge task ahead ,he insists France will be going about its business one game at a time.
“Everybody knows how tough it is to win the Euros because all the teams are very strong,” he said.
“We can see the group that we have … It’s like something crazy!
“We have to go step-by-step because it’s going to be really difficult, but we are ready for that.”
As it stands, Mbappé’s sole focus this summer is on chasing European glory.
The prospect, though, of representing his country at the Olympics in his home city of Paris remains a tantalizing possibility – this despite the Parisian being left out of coach Thierry Henry’s provisional 25-man preliminary squad for the Games.
