Although Mbappe was not as clear-cut as he was at the 2019 event, when he made headlines for discussing a possible “new project”, he later said everything would be clear when he met his national team. at the end of the month.
“I made this mistake three years ago to host the event. I want to participate in the event, not seek fame,” Mbappe said, as reported by RMC.

Scoring and providing two assistants in PSG’s 4-0 win over Montpellier on Saturday, Mbappe has scored 245 goals in all competitions since making his debut for PSG in September 2017 (168 goals, 77 assists).

France will play four UN matches in June, facing rivals in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Croatia, as well as a clash with Denmark and a trip to Austria.
