Kylian Mbappé believes France’s current squad has ‘more potential and more talent’ than the 2022 World Cup runners-up Can France improve on their runners-up status in the 2022 World Cup to become World champions for the third time in their history come July in America? Speaking to TF1 , France’s national team captain Kylian Mbappé (27) believes that Les Bleus ‘ current crop of players has “ more potential and more talent ” than the squad that got beaten by Lionel Messi’s Argentina on penalties during the 2022 final. On the back of a prestige friendly win against Brazil , Mbappé stopped short at suggesting that France will be stronger compared to four years ago.
“ I can’t say that, results will tell “, says the Real Madrid striker. “ I knew France teams who had supreme talents, but they didn’t win anything. “ Fortunately for Les Bleus , Mbappé and his teammates will get into the thick of the World Cup from the get-go as their opening game will see them go toe-to-toe with Senegal, who were stripped of their AFCON victory.
“ If we turn up thinking we are going to win the World Cup, the Senegalese will get into us and we will come back down to earth very quickly “ , Mbappé adds. GFFN | Bastien Cheval
