A prestigious win for the French national team. Facing Brazil (2-1) in a friendly match with a gala atmosphere, France, led by Didier Deschamps, delivered a strong performance despite being reduced to ten men in the second half.
All smiles, Kylian takes it in. Captain and goalscorer, Kylian Mbappé fully enjoyed the team’s performance at the final whistle. “I said it before the match, this wasn’t a friendly for us. Facing Brazil is an opportunity for any nation. We have a lot of respect for them. It was a chance to see where we stand: our level, tactically, technically, in the intensity of a high-level match… It’s great to play games like this.”
A performance that confirms France’s progress
Clear-headed, the Real Madrid forward refuses to get carried away while highlighting the team’s improvement. “I’m not going to pretend it was a World Cup final, but we’re on a good run both offensively and defensively, even if we conceded that late goal. We’re moving forward.” Back from a knee injury, Mbappé returned to the pitch with desire and ambition. And already, his focus is on what comes next.
