France captain Kylian Mbappé has declared his ambition to make history after leading Les Bleus to a convincing 3-1 win over Senegal in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Real Madrid forward delivered a standout performance, netting a brace, while Bradley Barcola added another to secure all three points for the 2018 champions. Senegal’s lone goal, scored by Ibrahim Mbaye, proved insufficient to halt the French dominance.
Speaking after the match, Mbappé emphasized the importance of focus and composure as the tournament progresses.
He warned against complacency, noting that early victories in the World Cup often come with significant challenges.
“I play to make history for my country,” Mbappé stated. “But the priority is to help France win the World Cup. This is just the beginning, and we must stay focused on what lies ahead.”
