France's hopes of clinching the Euro 2024 title were dashed as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Spain in the semifinals at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Kylian Mbappé, who set up an early lead for France through Randal Kolo Muani, expressed his disappointment at the team's failure to advance to the final.
Mbappé, who scored just one goal in the tournament, acknowledged that it had been a challenging competition for him. His campaign was marred by a broken nose in the opening game against Austria, which forced him to wear a mask in subsequent matches. However, he opted to play without the mask against Spain due to discomfort.
