Kylian Mbappe and France, despite recent World Cup success, are determined to claim Euro 2024 glory as they kick off their campaign against Austria on Monday. While Les Bleus have excelled on the global stage, their Euro journey under Didier Deschamps has been marked by bitter disappointments, notably the last Euros in 2020 where they fell in the last 16.
Despite their recent setbacks, France remains hungry for European success, a title that has eluded them since Deschamps took over in 2012. With memories of their Euro 2016 heartbreak against Portugal still fresh, Mbappe, now with Real Madrid, aims to lead his nation to redemption in Germany.

Deschamps, who led France to their last European triumph in 2000, is poised to make history again, with Mbappe highlighting the significance of Euro success to the coach. With their eyes set on the trophy, France faces a tough group including the Netherlands and Poland after their opener against a rejuvenated Austria.
While France hasn't fully hit top form recently, Deschamps' tactical adjustments and the return of key players like N'Golo Kante offer hope for improvement. With experienced figures like Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud complementing a young squad, France aims to overcome challenges on and off the field, including political distractions back home.
