Kylian Mbappe is going through a difficult Euro 2024. That may not stop France from winning the title

HAMBURG, Germany — The European Championship won’t go as planned for Kylian Mbappé, and he knows it. He has a broken nose and has to wear a mask that limits his vision. He’s dealing with fitness issues from the end of his club season. He’s scored just one goal, and it was a penalty. The French captain says “it’s the whims of a footballer.” But he doesn’t care as long as he’s lifting the Henri Delaunay Cup in Berlin on July 14. France has advanced to the semifinals, where Spain awaits Tuesday.
