“Participating Is Not My Thing”- Kylian Mbappe Fires Warning At Portugal & Other European Heavyweights After France’s Dominant Win Over Gibraltar

France asserted their dominance in the Euro qualifier campaign after an emphatic victory over Gibraltar. Kylian Mbappe scored an ecstatic hat trick on the 14-0 thumping of the European side. During the post-match interview, the PSG star expressed unwavering ambition to secure the 2024 Euro in Germany.

Portugal, Netherlands, Switzerland, Romania as well as France have successfully secured their spot in Euro 2024. On this note, Mbappe is confident that their squad poses a strong threat to the rivals as they stand as the primary contender for the European Championship next season.

What did Kylian Mbappe remark about France for Euro 2024?

The Parisian sensation is optimistic about emerging victorious in the final round after a commanding stint against Gibraltar. Mbappe believes France has the versatile roaster to secure their third European Championship in 2024. Moreover, the Monaco starlet was also vocal about their mindset for the campaign next season. The France captain is more determined to win the title rather than merely participating in the fixtures. The former world champions are committed to maintaining their peak performance and forging a formidable squad for their opponents in Euro 2024.

The PSG icon remarked in the interview, “Since I arrived, I always said I want to win. There are great teams but you will never hear me say as long as I am going to wear this jersey. You will never hear that I am going anything other than winning. Participating is not my thing. If we don’t win, we will accept, but we‘re going to win of course.”

Moreover, the upcoming Euro would be a redemption for their previous 2020 campaign. France failed to advance in the knockout stages after falling short against Switzerland. The 2018 World Cup champions were defeated in a penalty shoot-out in the round of 16 tie. Nevertheless, France appears to be prepared for the upcoming championship following their impressive results in the qualifier stage. Now, let’s dig deep into their performance from the qualifier campaign.
