France crushed Ukraine 4-0 and secured its ticket to the 2026 World Cup. A clear and controlled qualification, accompanied by a very clear message from Kylian Mbappé. The captain left no doubt: the Blues will go to the World Cup for the title, nothing else.
Kylian Mbappé savors the qualification but does not take it lightly: “Going to the World Cup is no small feat. It hasn’t always been automatic in the history of the French team.” Then the question arises: aiming for a semi-final? He almost bursts out laughing. No, the goal is much higher.
“Winning is the dream”
“I don’t understand this semi-final talk. If the goal is the semi-final, we go there, stop, and come back? No. The goal is to win. It’s everyone’s dream. Some will play it safe and say, if they don’t win, ‘we said semi-final.’ But for us, the goal is to win. The dream is to win. We know it’s going to be very difficult, and we are preparing for that.”
Determined, ambitious, and unfiltered: Mbappé is already placing the Blues in the race for the world title… and fully embraces it. But before thinking about the trophy, one last match awaits the team: a trip to Azerbaijan on Sunday, to wrap up 2025 and start gearing up for 2026.
The Blues have been warned: the goal, according to their captain, is the summit… or nothing.
