La Première dame Brigitte Macron a tenu à rendre hommage au capitaine de l’équipe de France Kylian Mbappé, bien qu’il ne devrait pas participer aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024 (26 juillet – 11 août).

Like many French people, First Lady Brigitte Macron has been a fan of the best French footballer for several years. On the occasion of a trip to the medical-educational institute of Saint-Cloud, in Hauts-de-Seine, the wife of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the captain of the French team, as relayed by our colleagues at RMC Sport.

"First Kylian, we say thank you, it’s the first thing I want to say to him, for everything he’s has given us, what he will perhaps give us again ", replied Madame Macron to a journalist asking her if she was ready to experience the Paris 2024 Olympics without the presence of the & rsquo;current PSG player.

"We are so proud to have him with us"

"A big thank you to him, he’s a huge champion and we are so proud to have him with us. So we're going to follow all that,” she continued alongside the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castera.

Although he may not be present during these Olympic Games, retained by his future club, which could be Real Madrid. "We say thank you anyway ! Thank you Kylian,” she added.
