MARSEILLE, March 26 ― France captain Kylian Mbappe said his team's friendly loss to Germany at the weekend should serve as a warning going into Euro 2024, for which Les Bleus are one of the leading contenders.

“We need to be aware that if we play like that in the big matches that lie ahead of us, we are setting ourselves up for major disappointment,” Mbappe said yesterday, following Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the European Championship hosts in Lyon.
