Mbappe eyes completing international treble with France at Euro 2024

Kylian Mbappe hopes to avoid any hangover from World Cup disappointment as the France forward searches for his elusive final international crown at Euro 2024.

The Real Madrid-bound forward scored a hat-trick in the final of FIFA’s global tournament in 2022, though that was not enough to stop Argentina from winning on penalties in Saudi Arabia.

Another major tournament is on the horizon as the European Championship awaits in Germany, where Didier Deschamps’ side rank as the favourites alongside Gareth Southgate’s England.

Euros success is the only glory missing from Mbappe’s glittering resume, having won the World Cup in 2018 and the Nations League as well, though the 25-year-old hopes to end that this time around.

The former Paris Saint-Germain told CNN Sport: “I want to win the Euros. I have to be honest. I won the World Cup. I won the Nations League.

“That’s the only one that missed me with the national team after I did everything with the national team. I really want to win this.

“My first competition as captain, so it’s really important for me and it’s always important for the country and we want them to be proud of us.

“[It’s] another opportunity to write the history of my country.”
