Right before the match at EURO 2024, Kylian Mbappe brought unhappy news to French fans. He announced that he will not be able to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics, the congress that the French are waiting for with the host advantage.
Speaking to the media, Kylian Mbappe confirmed that he will not participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics, despite President Emmanuel Macron’s wishes: “I understand Real Madrid ‘s situation because I just came here. I wish the French (Olympic) team all the best.
Of course, I will watch all the home team’s matches but only as a spectator, not as a participant. And finally, I hope they bring home the gold medal.”
Although he will not be present at Paris 2024, he expressed his wish for France to win every match: “I hope France will win every match and achieve the highest goal.”
The above statement means that the 25-year-old striker will leave a big hole by not being able to participate in the most important campaign of the year in French sports. It will bring a lot of regret, even causing French football to miss its gold medal goal because before that, Mbappe publicly announced his ambition to participate in the Olympics .
Perhaps the deal to join Real Madrid changed everything. Because after EURO 2024 , it will be difficult for Mbappe to devote his energy to another stressful event (the Olympics takes place from July 24 to August 9), while Real hopes to debut him in the summer tour series and then the series. New year’s first match.
Similar to Mbappe is Lionel Messi. The 37-year-old superstar was also called upon to appear in Paris. But he declared: “I spoke with Javier Mascherano (Argentina Olympic team head coach). I understand the wishes of all parties, but I also believe he understands my situation. I think I will still only focus on Copa America).
