Fans often wonder: Has Mbappé won Euro? The short answer is no — Kylian Mbappé has not won the UEFA European Championship (Euro) yet with the senior France national team. Despite being a World Cup winner (2018) and a runner-up (2022), the coveted Euro title remains elusive in his trophy cabinet. In this article, FreeKickSEO will dive deep into Mbappé’s Euro history, his performances, and what stands between him and that long-awaited prize.
France’s Euro history with Mbappé
France has a storied history in the European Championship, triumphing in 1984, 2000, and 2004. But Mbappé was not part of those squads — born in 1998, his senior international debut came much later. Since Mbappé emerged on the international stage, France has made several Euro campaigns:
- Euro 2016: Before Mbappé’s senior debut
- Euro 2020 (played in 2021 due to COVID-19): Mbappé starred, but France didn’t win
- Euro 2024: Mbappé captained France, but they fell short in the semi-finals
Despite being one of France’s key players, he has yet to lift the Henri Delaunay Trophy with Les Bleus. This confirms that Mbappé has not won Euro in his career to date.
Key Euro tournaments and Mbappé’s impact
To understand why the Euro title has evaded him, let’s look tournament by tournament:
Euro 2020 (held in 2021)
- Mbappé played a major role for France throughout qualifying and in the finals.
- France, however, were knocked out by Switzerland in the Round of 16 in a penalty shoot-out, despite being among the favorites.
- Mbappé scored in the finals, but the team’s journey ended sooner than hoped.
Euro 2024
- He entered the competition as captain, and expectations were high.
- Mbappé scored his first ever Euro finals goal in the group stage – a penalty vs Poland.
- France managed to reach the semi-finals, where they lost to Spain by 2-1 after conceding two second-half goals.
- After the loss, Mbappé was open: describing the campaign as a “failure” for the national side.
Across these tournaments, Mbappé has been influential, dangerous, often decisive, but his performances haven’t been enough to capture the ultimate European crown.
Why the Euro title has been difficult to win
Several factors help explain why Mbappé’s quest for a Euro title is still ongoing:
- Strong competition
- Spain, Germany, Portugal, Italy — Europe is stacked with top national teams. Winning the Euros demands consistency, squad depth, and sometimes, luck.
- Single-match knockouts
- The format means one bad game or tough draw — or penalty shoot-out — can derail an entire campaign.
- Pressure and expectations
- As one of the world’s premier forwards, Mbappé carries heavy spotlight. Even minor setbacks feel magnified.
- Moments of unluckiness
- Injuries, defensive lapses, or just a moment in a match can change everything. In some matches, France were in control, but conceded late goals or made costly mistakes.
Mbappé’s international honours to date
While the Euro remains missing, Mbappé already has an impressive set of achievements for France:
- FIFA World Cup winner (2018) and runner-up (2022).
- UEFA Nations League winner in the 2020-21 season.
- Titles at youth level (France U-19 European Championship in 2016).
These successes show he can win big trophies with France — but Euro is one that has just slipped through so far.
The future: Can he still win Euro?
With Mbappé still in prime years, the possibility is very much alive. Key things going forward:
- Euro 2028 will be a major target — by then Mbappé will have experience in three or more Euros.
- Need for strong squad support — midfield control, defensive stability, reliable teammates.
- Maintaining top form; staying fit and performing under pressure.
- Tactical flexibility: adapting to opponents in knockout stages when margins get tight.
Conclusion
Has Mbappé won Euro? Not yet — that European Championship title is the one major honour still missing. If you’re curious about his World Cup record, goals, stick with us — we’ll bring all the stats and stories every time.
