Kylian Mbappé has expressed gratitude to supporters following France’s performance at the recent World Cup, while also suggesting his continued commitment to the national team. In a letter circulated to multiple media outlets titled “Thank You,” the forward thanked fans for their support throughout the tournament.
“A month of emotion. Of surpassing limits. Of pride in wearing the colours of France. Of passion, above all, the same passion that drives us on the pitch and drives you, in front of the screen and in the stands,” Mbappé wrote. He acknowledged the disappointment of losing to Spain in the semi-finals and then to England in the third-place play-off. “We are not bringing back a collective trophy. It hurts and will hurt for a while, I won’t lie to you about that.”
Despite being the tournament’s top goalscorer, Mbappé stated that the individual accolade was not enough. “I take the title of top scorer with pride, but it would have been so much better with the Cup as well,” he added. “We perhaps owed you a better ending. But we don’t always choose the end of the story, we choose what we put into it, and we put everything into it.”
The captain also extended his thanks to his teammates, coach Didier Deschamps, the coaching staff, and everyone who supported the team during their time in the United States. He concluded with a promise to the supporters: “We are not finished playing together.” This statement has been interpreted as a commitment to future international competitions, with a clear aim towards the 2030 World Cup.
Mbappé recently completed a move to Real Madrid, officially joining the Spanish giants after years of speculation. While the details of his contract were not disclosed in this report, the transfer marks a significant moment in his career, and for both clubs. The forward’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu is expected to bolster Real Madrid’s attacking options as they look to continue their dominance in both La Liga and the Champions League. His continued dedication to the French national team alongside his new club commitments will be a key focus for fans in the coming years.
