In the semi-final of the USA-Canadian Cup, Mbappe started in the match between France and Spain, marking his third consecutive appearance in the World Cup semi-finals.
In World Cup history, Mbappé is the first non-German player to play in three semi-finals, and the previous five players to achieve this feat were all German.
The French team has four members from the 2018 World Cup champions in this tournament, but Dembele did not play in the 2018 World Cup semi-final, Kanté will miss the 2022 World Cup due to injury, and Lucas will also miss the 2022 World Cup semi-final due to injury.
