Mbappé says goodbye to Deschamps: We owed you a better ending | OneFootball

As Didier Deschamps will coach his final match on the France bench this Saturday night (11 p.m.) against England, Kylian Mbappé paid him a magnificent tribute.

This Saturday night (11 p.m.), France faces England in the World Cup third-place match. It will above all be Didier Deschamps’ last, as he will make way for Zinédine Zidane. And a few hours before this clash against the English, synonymous with a last dance, Kylian Mbappé posted a moving message for his coach.

On X, he wrote: “Today is your last dance. You who have given us so much. We should have given you a better ending, but we failed. Putting into words what you have brought over 14 years is very difficult, as you have been a key figure in the rebuilding of this team. People have not always appreciated your greatness, but time and history will take care of that...” he lamented.

Mbappé’s XXL tribute to Deschamps

“Thank you for giving me the chance and the opportunity to represent my country on the biggest stage for so many years. I feel privileged to have been alongside one of the greatest legends of our country, and I will only keep wonderful memories of everything we have experienced and achieved together.

Finally, he concluded: “I wish you all the best in your new adventure, and once again thank you for everything you have brought to this shirt that means so much to us.” A message that will warm the heart of “DD,” who had already been treated to a magnificent hug from his number 10 after the latter’s goal against Sweden in the round of 16.
