France national team: Kylian Mbappé addresses a moving letter to the fans of Les Bleus

A few weeks after the end of the 2026 World Cup, Kylian Mbappé has chosen to break his silence to speak directly to the French national team's supporters. In a letter published this Monday by several media outlets, the captain of Les Bleus reflects on the team's journey, expresses his gratitude to the fans, and pays tribute to all those who supported the team during the competition.

While the news is largely dominated by the summer transfer window and the numerous transfers that are shaking up European football, the French striker wanted to take a moment to thank those who supported Les Bleus throughout the World Cup.

"Thank you for this month of emotions, pushing our limits and pride. Wearing the French jersey is an immense privilege, and your passion, whether in the stadiums or in front of your screens, carried us through every match," wrote the Real Madrid player.

Mbappé makes no secret of his disappointment at not bringing home the World Cup trophy. Despite this frustration, he insists that the team gave their all on the pitch.

“We leave without the World Cup and this pain will remain for a long time. We would have liked to offer you a different outcome, but we can be proud of the commitment we showed. We left all our strength on the field,” he continued.

The top scorer in the competition, the captain of Les Bleus insists, however, that this individual award would have no value without the work of his teammates.

"This title belongs to the whole group. Without the efforts, the runs and the sacrifices of each and every one of us, I would never have scored so many goals. The collective will always remain above personal distinctions," he emphasizes.

Mbappé also spoke about his time with the French national team. After playing in three World Cups and winning one title, he said that this edition will remain etched in his memory, especially because he experienced it wearing the captain's armband.

The French international then paid a vibrant tribute to the fans, whether they followed the matches from France, despite the sometimes difficult schedules, or whether they made the trip to the United States.

"You were everywhere. In the stands, in the bars, with family or friends. Your support never left us, even in the most difficult moments. This adventure belongs as much to the millions of supporters as to the eleven players on the pitch," he wrote.

The captain of Les Bleus also hasn't forgotten Didier Deschamps, his staff and all the people who work behind the scenes.

"Thank you to the coach, to all his staff, but also to the physiotherapists, physical trainers, cooks, drivers and to all those who make this adventure possible without ever being in the spotlight," he adds.

In conclusion, Mbappé reminds us that football remains above all a universal passion capable of bringing together millions of people, despite the joys and disappointments.

"This World Cup is over, but our story doesn't end here. Other opportunities await us, and we will continue to share the same emotions. Thank you for your trust and unwavering support."

After this heartfelt message, Kylian Mbappé will now return to Real Madrid, where a particularly ambitious new season awaits him. Under the guidance of José Mourinho, the French striker will aim to lead the Madrid club to more major titles.
