France enters Euro 2024 as one of the favorites to win the tournament, but the team's success might hinge on Kylian Mbappe's ability to stay focused amidst his transition from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid, which has dominated headlines.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid has been a significant storyline in France and Spain recently, and his performances for PSG towards the end of the season raised questions about his readiness for the Euros despite an impressive goal tally.
France coach Didier Deschamps remains confident in Mbappe's commitment to the national team, emphasizing his importance both on and off the field, considering his significant role as captain.
While Mbappe has enjoyed remarkable success with France, including a memorable World Cup performance, his Euro 2020 campaign ended in disappointment, with France eliminated in the last 16, and he missed a crucial penalty in the shootout against Switzerland.
Deschamps acknowledges the high expectations on France after their World Cup win and recognizes the Euros as a significant opportunity to further cement their status as one of the world's top teams.
The French team faces a challenging group stage and will be without key players like Hugo Lloris and Raphael Varane, but with talents like N'Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann, they aim to prove their favoritism on the pitch.
