Find the key figures after the French team’s defeat against Italy (1-3) in the Nations League.

13

Bradley Barcola deceived Gianluigi Donnarumma with a superb curling shot with his right foot after just 13 seconds of play at the Parc des Princes on Friday night. The Paris-SG forward thus scored the fastest goal in the history of the French team over the last 90 years. He is also the 10th French international to find the net in the first minute of play.

1986

Dominated by Italy (1-3) after clearly faltering in the second half, the Blues had not lost an official competition match (except friendlies) at home by at least two goals since… October 11, 1986! Henri Michel’s men then fell at the Parc des Princes to the USSR of Rinat Dasaev and Igor Belanov (0-2).

2

Didier Deschamps’ team have won only 2 of their last 8 competitive matches (4 draws, 2 defeats). They had won each of the previous 7.

1962

Already beaten by Spain in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 in their last outing, Les Bleus have just conceded two consecutive defeats after having opened the scoring. This is a first since April-May 1962!

50

Coming into play in the second half at the Parc des Princes, Ousmane Dembélé celebrated his 50th selection in the tricolor jersey. 8 years after the first against… Italy.

2022

By falling heavily against the Nazionale in the opening of the League of Nations, the French players conceded 3 goals in a match for the first time since the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina (3-3, victory for the South Americans on penalties), and for the first time in a competitive home match for 25 years and on June 5, 1999 (2-3 defeat against Russia at the Stade de France).

21

Deceived against Spain and Italy, Mike Maignan has conceded more than one goal in each of his last two outings with the Blues, more than in his first 21 selections (1).
