Mbappe has raised doubts in recent months
“Real Madrid” star Kylian Mbappe failed to score in the starting line-up of the French national team in the friendly match of the “Roosters” defeat (2-1) against their guest, Cote d’Ivoire (2-1) today, Thursday, as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup finals at the Nantes “La Beaujolais” stadium.

The Merengue star left the game before the start of the second half as coach Didier Deschamps brought on another forward, Jean-Philippe Mateta, in place of Mbappe as he tried to gauge the level of most players ahead of the World Cup.
It is noteworthy that Mbappe faced widespread criticism in the final months of last season due to the apparent decline in his level at Real Madrid.
