Mbappe sends message to Spain
Speaking to FIFA ahead of the semi-final, Mbappe made clear that satisfaction would only come through victory.
“There's only one way to relax, and that's by winning. Until we've done that, we don't let up. We're in the semi-finals and we're very happy, but there's still a long way to go,” he said.
“We realise that what lies ahead is even tougher than what we've been through, but we're ready to face anything.”
As noted by BBC Sport, should France get past Spain, a place in the final awaits against either Argentina or England, setting up what would be a blockbuster conclusion to the 2026 tournament.
