FRANCE 3-0 LUXEMBOURG: KYLIAN MBAPPE SHINES AS LES BLEUS DOMINATE EURO 2024 WARM-UP MATCH

France commanded a 3-0 triumph over Luxembourg, revealing their strength as they prepare for Euro 2024. Goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Jonathan Clauss set the stage before Kylian Mbappe, who assisted the first two goals, clinched the third late on, showcasing his star power.

Match Overview

Kylian Mbappe orchestrated France's dominant victory over Luxembourg, propelling their Euro 2024 preparations. Mbappe set up Randal Kolo Muani and Jonathan Clauss before netting the final goal on an easy evening for Les Bleus at Stade Saint-Symphorien.

France found their rhythm swiftly in Metz’s first senior international game in eight years. Antoine Griezmann struck the post in the 12^th minute while Anthony Moris thwarted Mbappe’s volley from close range on 26 minutes. However, the Luxembourg goalkeeper could not prevent Les Bleus from breaking through two minutes before halftime. Mbappe’s precise cross found Kolo Muani, who headed home with authority.

Mbappe continued to inspire, setting up another goal with 20 minutes left. After a short corner, the skipper teed up substitute Clauss, who unleashed a fierce 20-yard strike past Moris, the ball glancing off the underside of the crossbar.

Luxembourg nearly pulled one back when Enes Mahmutovic’s looping header forced a brilliant save from Mike Maignan, but Mbappe sealed the result with a precise first-time finish from Bradley Barcola’s square pass.

Key Moments and Player Performances

France never appeared in danger as they established control early, led by Mbappe’s dynamic play. Didier Deschamps fielded a strong lineup, featuring N'Golo Kante’s return to midfield after two years. Kante slotted back seamlessly into his role, earning a tremendous reception when substituted in the 64^th minute. His performance, alongside his teammates, bolstered his chances of regularly featuring at Euro 2024.

The victory against Luxembourg followed a defeat by Germany in March, ensuring Les Bleus avoided consecutive home friendly losses for the first time since 2013. Sunday's match against Iceland in Bordeaux offers the final opportunity for players to stake their claim for a starting role in France's Group D opener against Austria on June 17.

Player of the Match: Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe, set to join Real Madrid on July 1, seized the spotlight for France. His pinpoint cross for Kolo Muani and keen awareness to find the unmarked Clauss highlighted his exceptional playmaking skills. Mbappe now boasts 27 assists for France, trailing only Antoine Griezmann (30), who matched Mbappe’s four chances created on Wednesday night.

Mbappe led with game-high figures in take-ons (four completed), touches in the opposing box (23), and duels won (eight, tied with Kolo Muani). His well-taken goal, the cherry on top of a stellar individual performance, came from one of his nine shots, underscoring his influence and prowess.
