French Legends Inspire Young 'Bleus'

Published July 12, 2026 · Updated July 12, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

France's World Cup squad features just four survivors from their 2018 triumph as past champions inspire the current generation ahead of Spain clash.

Only Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, N'Golo Kanté and Lucas Hernández remain from France's 2018 World Cup-winning squad, with thirteen others being Qatar 2022 runners-up. The rest of the current 26-man squad lacks those major tournament experiences.

As France prepares to face Spain in Tuesday's semifinal, the influence of past legends becomes crucial in inspiring the new generation of 'Bleus' who seek to add to France's World Cup legacy. catcross.org
