Former French national team player Emmanuel Petit has commented on the performance of national team striker Kylian Mbappe at the 2024 European Football Championship.
Petit stated, as reported by COPE:
So far, he is not worthy of being captain. Kylian does not take enough responsibility on the field. He will only play because the opponent is Spain. Otherwise, I would have left him on the bench.
