Looking at the list, you can see familiar and high-class names of the French team like Mbappe, Dembele, Camavinga, Tchouameni,… Alongside them, it’s regrettable that top stars such as Michael Olise, Malo Gusto, Mo Simakan, Jean Clair Todibo, Axel Disasi, Mattéo Guendouzi, Jean-Philippe Mateys, and Moussa Diaby were not called up.

However, with the personnel that Deschamps possesses in the squad, Les Bleus will surely be among the top contenders for the Euro 2024 crown.

The French national team is the reigning World Cup runner-up, and they will enter the upcoming Euro with the expectation of dominating Europe. This has surely been anticipated beforehand, as when looking at the star-studded lineup of Les Bleus, it’s not difficult for people to point out world-class stars like Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Saliba,… This is considered the perfect generation to replace their predecessors who won the 2018 World Cup.

Among the mentioned names, Kylian Mbappe is undoubtedly the most anticipated, as the “Golden Boy of 2018” has become a world-class superstar with exceptional performances on the field, and is considered a potential candidate for this season’s Ballon d’Or award by football enthusiasts. The French superstar can certainly achieve this if he lifts the Euro trophy with the French national team this summer.

Mbappe and his teammates are expected to bring the Euro trophy back to France.
