Lyon beat City 3-1 in the quarter-finals in Lisbon on Saturday, joining Mbappe's Paris Saint-Germain in the last four.
The Bundesliga - through Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig - has matched Ligue 1's representation in the semi-finals, while the usual big-hitters from the Premier League, LaLiga and Serie A are all missing.
And Mbappe revelled in France's success at full-time in the Lyon triumph.
Referring to a phrase used to criticise the supposed lack of competition in Ligue 1, which PSG have dominated in recent seasons, he posted on Twitter, "FARMERS LEAGUE", alongside a clown emoji.

Lyon will face Bayern, while PSG take on Leipzig in a pair of Franco-German last-four affairs.
