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.
“I’m a football player, you know! (smiles) Yes, I’m happy. The most important thing for me is to be on the pitch and to play. France-Brazil, for anyone, is a gala match. Every kid would love to play it, even as a friendly. I’ll never take for granted how privileged I am to be on the pitch all the time.”
Insatiable, the French captain now hopes to keep the momentum going in the next match. “We’ll see, we’ll talk with the coach, but I always want to play!” A benchmark victory and a leader full of confidence: France move forward with ambition.
