Mbappe raring to go after Euros disappointment

Kylian Mbappe’s Euro 2024 was hampered by a broken nose, but with that all behind him and enjoying a new lease of life at Real Madrid, he is fully focused on the beginning of the Nations League, the France forward said on Thursday.

Now at Real Madrid after seven seasons with Paris St Germain, his enthusiasm has returned, and he scored to help the club win the Uefa Super Cup, and netted twice in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Real Betis.

“In Madrid it’s going very well, we’ve already won a trophy. It’s getting better and better in terms of performance, I’ve scored goals, now I’m focused on the national team,” Mbappe told a press conference before France host Italy on Friday.
