On Thursday, Hugo Loris praised Mbappe for his brilliant performances as he helped France quickly come back with a two-goal deficit at halftime to beat Belgium 3-2 to reach the national league final.
Theo Hernandez played Spain at the San Siro stadium on Sunday, but it was Mbappe who led the counterattack in the second half, his 50th appearance for France.
Mbappe, the youngest player to play for the Blues in half a century, helped Karim Benzema equalise and scored a penalty in the 69th minute to equalize.
Loris told reporters: "It's fantastic to take responsibility in the moment of the game."
"Yes, he has a lot of talent, but behind that he has a winner mentality. We were all happy for him in the dressing room. ”
The 22-year-old Mbappe had a tough summer when he missed a penalty in the Round of 16 of Euro 2020, knocked out world champions France and then became the focus of a transfer legend, with his desire to go to Real Madrid rejected by Paris Saint-Germain.
He also said in a recent interview that after missing a penalty in June, he was hoping for more support from France's squad and his team-mates.
But France coach Didier Deschamps insisted he had "always struggled to be by his side, behind him".
"There are a lot of demands and expectations around him, but I always know that with Killian, france will get stronger. I never doubted that," Deschamps told reporters.
Meanwhile, Roberto Martinez said Belgium let the weight of anticipation take their advantage, saying the desire for the golden generation to win trophies stopped them in the second half.
"The quality shown in the first half, the second half was a matter of emotion and responsibility... It became a game that we wanted to finish, to get to the final. At that moment, we stopped playing. ”
"We are injured now, but in 12 months we will have an important event (the World Cup). It's a great opportunity to show that we can grow from this experience. ”
