The mood within the French team is one of utter sadness following the devastating defeat against Spain in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup.
This is a completely devastated and battered group trying as best they can to come to terms with the failure, as disappointment has given way to a particularly heavy and oppressive atmosphere.
Faced with this distress, those close to the team describe a deep emotional rift:
“They’re at rock bottom. They’re all really affected, but I think Kylian is even more so than the others.”
These raw words speak to the immense pain afflicting the team and especially its captain, who has been struck right in the heart by this cruel outcome.
