France captain Kylian Mbappe celebrates scoring his team's first goal during their 2026 Fifa World Cup quarter-final against Morocco in Broston.
France captain Kylian Mbappé insisted on Thursday that his side are not getting carried away about their prospects of winning another FIFA World Cup, despite securing a semi-final berth with a clinical 2-0 victory over Morocco.
"I don't know if you can say we are on a mission; that is the easy term to use. But I think we are aware that the only way to let up is by winning," Mbappé told French broadcaster M6 after an eventful quarter-final tie in Foxborough, during which he saw a first-half penalty saved before later breaking the deadlock.
"We are in the semi-finals and we are very pleased. There is still a long way to go and we are aware that what awaits is going to be even harder, but we are ready," the Real Madrid superstar added.
"We are ready to confront everything we come up against, so we will recuperate in peace and watch tomorrow's match to find out who we will face next."
