Kylian Mbappé is hungry for records. Against Luxembourg (3-0), for the first of the Blues’ two preparation matches before the Euro, the French striker took care of his morale and his statistics. A double passer, the 2018 world champion came within one unit of his teammate Antoine Griezmann, the best passer in the history of the Blues.
“He will make history”
Insufficient, however, to quench his thirst, so Kylian scored, his 47th goal in the Rooster jersey, he who had not found the net in blue since a hat-trick against Gibraltar in November. Olivier Giroud (57) is now in his sights. But the former PSG striker, who is preparing to join the biggest club in the world, is already looking further, in search of eternity.
“He will make history,” imagines Zinedine Zidane with TF1 in a documentary devoted to the phenomenon. Mbappé is only in the first part of his career, but he has already left his mark on French football and enjoys a global aura that goes beyond the simple framework of football. Among the greats, is he already the equal of his most illustrious elders? “I think he will surpass everyone,” said Zinedine Zidane. “We have to respect all these players, and I think that him, that’s what he does, that’s what’s beautiful, but I think, looking at him, that he will certainly surpass all the world.”
Mbappé “revenge” at the Euro
“Liberated and relieved” by the outcome of his transfer with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé wants to turn the page on a turbulent club season behind the scenes and refocus on the Euro where he hopes to shine with the Blues, and ensure that the 2021 edition of the competition (elimination in the round of 16 of the competition against Switzerland with a missed penalty on their part) is nothing more than a bad memory.
“I took a slap at Euro 2021 with this failed competition. I have this vindictive state of mind. It’s exciting and it’s an individual and collective challenge. I think people are impatient. J “I’ve always had this ambition to give everything and try to make a mark in the history of French football.”
