Did France bottle their golden generation?

2018- 2026 they arguably have had the best team "on paper" at every tournament, yet have only managed to come up with 1 trophy out of 5 major tournaments.

Mbappe gonna be 31 next world cup with Dembele 33, arguably both will be past their prime

Their emerging talent is exciting but not quite the best out of other top national teams

Midfield needs serious changing, Rabiot will probably be on his way out, tchouameni really needs to up his game, kante still hasn't been replaced

Zidane coming in is quite exciting atleast

All other national teams are rebuilding and hungry to end the disappointment they've given to their fans (Italy, Germany, England etc.)

Could this next Euros be the last of France's "domination"?
