Mbappés comeback: France is aimed at National League final!

Villarreal, Spanien - The French superstar Kylian Mbappe celebrates his comeback in the national team! After a break of two games, the 26-year-old is in the squad for the UEFA National League games against Croatia, who are crucial for the move-in of France to the final four tournament in Germany. "I arrive as if I had never been away," Mbappe announced in an interview with "Le Parisien". He rejects media reports about tensions with national coach Didier Deschamps as rumors: "There was no break. I always reacted to his calls," emphasizes the striker. Although he admits small differences of opinion, these are not serious for Mbappe enough to burden the relationship with Deschamps.

The comeback takes place on March 20, when France meets Croatia in the first round of the Nation's League quarterfinals. At this point, Mbappe is not only the key player for the Équipe Tricolore, but has also established himself as one of the best players in the world. After a bumpy start at Real Madrid this season, he recently achieved a remarkable milestone: with two goals in a crucial La Liga game against Villarreal, he scored a total of 31 goals in his debut season. He surpasses the 30 goals of Ronaldo Nazário in his first season at Real Madrid in 2002-03.

on the way to records

mbappe is now on the heels of Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 33 goals in the debut season, even though he has already played 43 games. "The scoring is important, but winning titles is crucial for me," explains Mbappe. In an interview with Real Madrid TV, he shows himself humble and recognizes the legends of the game: "These are big legends that have defined an era. However, it's not just about numbers, but about winning titles." The next 13 games up to the FIFA Club World Championship in June offer him the opportunity to exceed Ronaldo's record, a goal that increases the expectations of Mbappe even further while shining on the international parquet for his home country.
