Goal by Mbappé (1-4) in France 4-6 England
Bad first part: “There were two very different parts. In the first, I understand that some say it was a joke, that we did not respect the shirt. I would say that we were more human. Unfortunately, we were completely stunned. They really woke us up. In the second part, we returned to being top-level players, mental machines that left emotions aside.”
The second half: “We managed to do what we know how to do: win the second half, but in the end, we didn’t win. It’s more a shame for the coach. We wanted to do something for him, but unfortunately, the first half gives the impression that we let him down. But that’s not how we wanted to feel. That’s football; we want to thank the coach for everything he has done. This match will not tarnish the legend of Didier Deschamps.”

His goals record: “Messi will score in the final, that’s for sure. I’m just trying to help my team win. Scoring a lot of goals in a World Cup helps you evolve in certain aspects. I would have preferred not to be the all-time top scorer and play tomorrow’s game. It’s nice for my legacy, but today is not the first thing I think about.”
