Kylian Mbappe voiced his frustration after France's dramatic 5-4 loss to Spain in the Nations League semi-final. Although the team trailed 5-1, they mounted a late comeback that fell just short. Mbappe emphasized that the performance showed promise despite the defeat, acknowledging issues with consistency and the referee's decision-making. This match marked the first time France conceded five goals since 1969. They will now compete for third place against Germany, reflecting on unexpected defensive vulnerabilities but also celebrating glimpses of offensive strength.
In the heat of the moment, I'd say we played well. We had some stretches of play we haven't had for a while. We weren't consistent over the 90 minutes, but we did get better.
It's no excuse, we're top-level players. But it's not all negative. We're p***** off, that's for sure. We're frustrated.
