Has Kylian Mbappe won the Euros? France star’s games, goals and overall record in UEFA European Championship

France are closing in once again on emerging as the kings of Europe this summer as Les Bleus compete in Germany for Euro 2024.

On the back of losing out to Argentina in an epic 2022 FIFA World Cup final, Didier Deschamps’ side are looking to bounce back and secure another major title, with talisman Kylian Mbappe wearing the captain’s armband.

Mbappe has dominated headlines since the start of 2024. His long-awaited free transfer to Real Madrid, after opting to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the domestic campaign, has been discussed and analysed for weeks on end.

However, Mbappe’s sole attention for the coming weeks will be on his national side, as he aims to lead France to glory ahead of likely rivals Spain and England.

Has Kylian Mbappe won the Euros?A European Championship title is not on Mbappe’s list of achievements, despite the player winning a string of domestic honours at PSG, and the World Cup with France in 2018, before scoring a hat-trick in the final four years later.

His move to Real Madrid is heavily motivated by a desire to win the UEFA Champions League and he will be pushing for continental supremacy with France in the days ahead.

France have won the European Championship twice in their history, firstly as hosts in 1984, and again in 2000 as part of a ‘double’ with the 1998 World Cup.

Kylian Mbappe games and goals record at the European ChampionshipMbappe made his France senior debut in March 2017 and he went on to score four goals as France lifted the World Cup in Russia in 2018.

However, his European Championship record is less eye-catching, as he failed to score at Euro 2020, despite starting all four France games at the tournament.

Deschamps’ team lost out on penalties to Switzerland at the Round of 16 stage, with Mbappe missing the decisive spot-kick.

Despite suffering a broken nose in their opening game against Austria at Euro 2024, Mbappe finally put that record right when he scored a penalty in France’s game with Poland on June 25 in the Group D finale to get off the mark at Euros finals.

He played the full game against Belgium in the Round of 16 but again could not find the target, although his side won the match 1-0.

In the quarterfinal against Portugal both Mbappe and his team failed to fire, and the French captain was not on the pitch by the time Les Bleus edged through on penalties after a 0-0 draw, having been withdrawn in extra time as he nursed a broken nose sustained earlier in the tournament.

France’s first game was a 1-0 win against Austria in Dusseldorf on June 17, in which Mbappe suffered a broken nose. That was followed by a clash with the Netherlands on June 21 in Leipzig, but Mbappe was absent for that with his injury.

They finished up the group stage against Poland on June 25 in Dortmund, with Mbappe finding the net from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw as France finished second in the group and set up their Round of 16 clash with Belgium.

They defeated Kevin De Bruyne and company 1-0 thanks to an 85th-minute own goal from Jan Vertonghen, and then slugged it out with Portugal in the quarterfinal, emerging victorious on penalties.
