The French team has been the only one that has shown an impressive ease in winning matches and it is no coincidence that it is considered by everyone as the favorite to win the World Cup. The merit is undoubtedly also of Kylian Mbappe who, with 8 goals and 3 assists, has been one of the key names in their offensive game.

The striker became the first to score at least 8 goals in two different editions of the World Cup, while he has also been part of a team that won the trophy before. Many see this France as stronger than the ones that reached the final in previous years, but for Mbappe himself, things are not like that, although he is not worried about the challenges that await his team in the future.

"I don't care who the opponent is. If it's Belgium, then it's Belgium and if it's Spain, then it's Spain. We'll see what happens. It's a semi-final and it's always going to be a tough match.

Of course I feel good with France. It's a team, a group that I love very much. There are many players in this team who are friends, whom I have known for many years. There are also young players of course, who see me a little bit as an older player.

I have to set an example for the team, especially emotionally, because on the pitch it's about football, but more emotionally, because I'm a player who has played more World Cup matches with the team. I know what it's like to play in a World Cup and I know I have to teach that to my teammates.

The strongest France of all time? No, it is not the strongest. I have been world champion and runner-up. This team has neither been world champion nor runner-up. It is the one with the greatest potential, the one with which it is easiest to make plans for the future. We can dream of achieving it. We have a lot of quality, but strong teams are the ones that win, and right now I don't see any golden trophy next to me. We have to win to be the best team in history", were Mbappe's words to the media.
