Les Bleus have not had a particularly great showing at the continental showpiece so far.

While they may be on the verge of playing a semi-final against Spain on Tuesday evening, the two-time competition winners are yet to score a goal from open play in this iteration of the competition.

The only goal the 2022 FIFA World Cup finalists have scored themselves was a penalty against Poland in their final group match.

"Don't you think he has already made enough history, with what he has done so far?" the Bayonne native said, as per ESPN.

"He wants to make even more history.

"We did everything we could with him, with the medical staff, to get him to be here. During the preparation, he had a little back problem, too, but Kylian is here."
