“The European Championships is harder than the World Cup, more intense. There are no Cinderellas. In the World Cup, with all respect, you can face Honduras or Saudi Arabia. In the Euros, anyone can beat you.” This is exactly what Xavi Hernandez, the star Spanish and Barcelona midfielder, said in 2012.
Mbappé's comments were backed up by Javier Tebas, president of Spain's La Liga. Spain won the Euros in 2008 and 2012, with a World Cup win sandwiched in between, and Tebas regards the difficulty level of the continental victories with supreme respect.
"The Euros are very difficult to win," he said recently. "I would say even harder than the World Cup."
