The defeat of the Blues against Spain
The players of the French team hoped to leave with the Cup at home. Unfortunately, their dream of victory ended on July 9 during their meeting against Spain. Indeed, their opponents scored two goals in the first part of the match less than three minutes apart. The Blues were therefore unable to reach the final of this Euro 2024. This was a great disappointment for captain Kylian Mbappé. After winning the World Cup in 2018, this time he wanted to win the Euro. "I had the ambition to be European champion, I had the ambition to do a good Euro. I did neither. It's a disappointment", - he declared in an interview after this defeat. Then, he added: “My competition was a failure. We had the ambition to be European champions, I had this ambition, so from there, it was a failed competition.” The one who just left PSG was unfortunately handicapped from the start of the competition. Kylian Mbappé actually had his nose broken due to a collision with Kevin Danso.
Didier Deschamps under fire from critics
According to many people, Didier Deschamps would be responsible for the defeat of the Blues during this Euro 2024 because of his play. During this interview, a journalist asked him a question which particularly annoyed him. She actually told him: "You went through a competition with certain criticisms, but you also achieved your president's objective with the semi-finals. You are still under contract for two years, do you want to to plan for the next two seasons and take on the challenge of the World Cup?" Very upset, Didier Deschamps then replied: "You are formidable... Ask my president the question. I have just lost a semi-final, you think that I will already... I respect you, try to respect a little the people who have responsibility too, I tell you this with complete peace of mind.
