Mbappe called the victory at the 2026 World Cup the main goal of the French national team

The striker of the Spanish club Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe, said on June 9 that the only goal of the French national football team is to win the World Cup (World Cup-26).

"I don't understand how you can talk about the semi-finals. If the goal is to reach the semifinals, then should we fold our arms and go home as soon as we make it to the semifinals? No! The goal is to win the World Cup. Everyone dreams of this," Mbappe quotes the Actu Foot portal on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

The footballer once again stressed that winning a prize or entering the top four is not enough for the ambitions of the national team.
