Ahead of their crucial last four clash against Spain, French midfielder Adrien Rabiot has admitted that the team will support the pair but they need to play at their usual level.
"If anyone is having problems we are here to support them, but obviously it would be better if we had Kylian and Antoine (we know) playing here at the Euros," Rabiot said in the pre-game conference. " ,
France has only won two games within ninety minutes of football and both victories were due to own goals. Mbappe has scored one goal so far which was a penalty kick against Poland in the group stage. His form has also been affected by the mask he was forced to wear due to a nose injury he suffered in the opening game against Austria. The Real Madrid forward has admitted he struggles when playing with protective gear.
Griezmann, on the other hand, is France's fourth-highest goalscorer of all-time, with 44 goals to his name, but he has not yet contributed a single in the continental championship.
"I think everyone is surprised because we know what Antoine is capable of. We saw what he took out of the bag at the World Cup, where as a player he was at the peak of his powers. I see the reason for that. Don't know. We have high expectations when it comes to Antoine and we expect a lot because he is capable," said the French midfielder.
