France beat Morocco 2-0 to book a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-finals.
Mbappe opened the scoring after seeing an earlier penalty saved, while Ousmane Dembele wrapped up the win with a second goal as France moved a step closer to another World Cup final.
Despite the result, the France skipper said there was still plenty of work to do before his side could think about lifting the trophy.
“I don’t know if you can say we are on a mission. That is the easy term to use,” Mbappe told M6.
“But I think we are aware that the only way to let up is by winning.
“We are in the semi-finals and we are very pleased. There is still a long way to go and we are aware that what awaits is going to be even harder, but we are ready.”
France will now travel to Dallas for Tuesday’s semi-final, where they will face either Spain or Belgium.
Mbappe said the squad are ready for whatever challenge lies ahead.
“We are ready to confront everything we come up against, so we will recuperate in peace and watch tomorrow’s game to find out who we will face next,” he said.
The Real Madrid forward also played a key role in Dembele’s goal before leaving the field late in the match after taking a knock to his ankle. He was replaced by Jean-Philippe Mateta for the closing stages.
Mbappe played down any concerns over the injury and expects to be available for the semi-final.
“I’m fine. I took a knock on the ankle but I’m fine. I think at that point JP was more prepared than me to play the final 15 minutes so I came off,” he said.
