Getty In Munich, the French national team suffered a deserved defeat, and the renowned Real Madrid superstar appeared noticeably different from his usual self.
France are finally out of Euro 2024. They will not be missed. Didier Deschamps' terrible team endured a fittingly feeble farewell, beaten 2-1 in the semi-finals by a vastly superior Spain side, who were inspired to victory by two tremendous attackers in Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo.
France boasts a remarkable lineup of players, with Kylian Mbappe standing out as one of their finest. However, despite his presence at the Allianz Arena, he appeared completely different and failed to resemble the exceptional forward that he is known as in the game today.
After setting up Randal Kolo Muani for the opening goal, it seemed like the true Mbappe had finally made his presence felt in Germany. However, for the rest of the game, he performed like an imposter. Admittedly, Deschamps’ poor tactics and team choices affected him greatly, but even when Mbappe found himself in promising positions, his typically lethal right foot repeatedly betrayed him.
Below, GOAL rates all of the France players on show in Munich as Les Bleus bowed out of the Euros..
