Luis de la Fuente has expressed confidence and belief in his side’s ability to curtail what Kylian Mbappe and France have to offer when they meet in the semi-final of Euro 2024 on Tuesday.

Spain have been tipped by many to come out triumphant in the tournament following their series of impressive performances. La Roja has netted 11 times en route to the last four and they have also recorded five straight wins, including knocking out hosts Germany and beating defending champions Italy.

On the flip side, France have made their way to the same stage of the tournament despite their struggles in attack and without a goal from open play — with their three goals coming from a penalty and two own goals.

French captain Mbappe and fellow attacker Antoine Griezmann have received criticism for their under-par performances, however, De La Fuente maintained they are still a side to be wary of especially with the former within their ranks.

“These kinds of footballers are unpredictable. You never know where they will appear and they never disappear completely,” he said.

“His [Mbappe’s] level could be slightly lower than his usual level, but 50 per cent of Kylian Mbappe could be 100 per cent of any other player.

“A player like this can decide a game at any moment. He’s a genius, a world-class player, of which France have many.”

De la Fuente however voiced his confidence in his troops despite praising the 25-year-old Real Madrid star.

“Mbappe is a one of a kind and is exceptional,” the 62-year-old said, but added: “To me, my footballers are the best.””Knowing their potential, we will try to minimise their virtues.

“I trust we will be able to counteract them. I have blind faith in my team and know we are ready to win tomorrow.”
