The 17th European Football Championship starts on Friday. The football festival will be hosted by neighbouring Germany and will be played in ten cities. The main favourites are, of course, France, whose main star will be Kylian Mbappé. He is already thinking about the ideal final opponent.
It is the Germans who could be one of the favourites, but the bookmakers, at least according to the odds for the EURO 20 24, are giving England and France the better chances.
Moreover, France have a star in their squad who is also the favourite to win the individual prize for the top scorer of the championship. We are talking about none other than the new Real Madrid star. Kylian Mbappé has arrived in Germany in good spirits, having finally made the move to his dream club.
At 25 years old, he already knows what it is like to be a world champion. He also won a medal at the last World Cup, but his team fell short to Argentina in the final. But the trophy for the King of Europe is missing from his collection. Both at national and club level.
But he may soon change both. Real Madrid is the king of Europe when it comes to the Champions League. France, for a change, has a very strong squad full of stars at the Euros. It should be mentioned, however, that at the last European Championship Didier Deschamps’ charges were knocked out in the eighth round. So they have a lot to make up for.
Kylian Mbappé is clear about his opponent for the final
Unsurprisingly, after Kylian Mbappé, he is one of the most talked about players by the media before the championship. He is one of the best players on the planet who fought for the king of goal scorers crown with Lionel Messi at the last World Cup.
In addition, France will play Austria on Monday. Apart from that, the Netherlands and Poland are also in the group. So it will not be easy. But as Mbappé noted, his country’s goal is clear.
“We are coming to Germany to make history. That is our job. We are ready and hungry for success. We know what we have to do. It will be something big if we bring the cup home,” he told Sport Bild.
Mbappé is even clear about who he would like to face in the final. He would like to face Germany at home. He had a simple reason for this. In March, Germany managed to beat France 2-0 in a friendly.
“Friendlies don’t count,” he joked. “But seriously, Germany has a great team. It is always a forceto be reckoned with, it can always pick itself up after a setback,” the jewel of the French selection let himself be heard.
