One look inside Kylian Mbappé’s trophy cabinet and you’ll already find little room for maneuvering.
World Cup winner. Check. Golden Ball winner. Check. Multiple domestic league winner. Check. These are just some of the few glowing accolades on his glistening CV.
And yet the global soccer superstar of our time admits that there remаins so much more to do and win.
At the domestic level, a maiden Champions League title is the glaring, haunting omission. On an individual level, the crown jewel that is the Ballon d’Or has so far eluded him.
So, what about at the international level? As he prepares for his fourth major tournament with France, the answer is definitive.
“I want to win the Euros. I have to be honest,” Mbappé told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies after being crowned Best Me𝚗’s Player at the inaugural Globe Soccer Awards Europe Edition in Sardinia, Italy.
“I won the World Cup. I won the Nations League. That’s the only one that missed me with the national team after I did everything with the national team.
“I really want to win this. My first competition as captain. So, it’s really important for me and it’s always important for the country and we want them to be proud of us.
“[It’s] another opportunity to write the history of my country.”
