On July 10, France was eliminated from the European Championship after a 1-2 defeat to Spain in the semi-finals.
After the match, France captain Mbappé was heavily criticized by the outside world. Although he assisted Muani in the opening minutes to give his team the lead, he was unable to step up when his team fell behind in the second half. He missed multiple shots and ultimately failed to lead his team to a comeback. In this European Championship, apart from missing the group stage match against the Netherlands due to injury, Mbappé started all the remaining five matches, but only scored a penalty against Poland in the group stage. He was goalless in the rest of the matches, while also contributing one assist and creating one own goal. Compared to his previous performances in the World Cup and Champions League, Mbappé’s performance this time can be said to be quite disappointing.
Spanish international and current Real Madrid player Carvajal defended his new teammate, saying: “We know his quality, Real Madrid always tries to sign the best players. I think he will be a great help to us, there is no doubt about it. We hope he can help Real Madrid continue to make history.”
According to the schedule, Mbappé will officially debut at the Bernabéu as a Real Madrid player on July 16.
