13' – Round Muani imprecise
On the right side, the Parisian striker crosses towards Nkunku. But he measures his pass very poorly and the Italian defense intervenes easily.
12' – The Blues lose many balls
On a ball release, Guendouzi is isolated against the touchline and struggles to free himself from the Italian pressure. For the moment, the French lack technical accuracy.
9' – Maignan's first intervention
On a French loss of the ball, Barella inherits the ball about twenty meters away. The Italian captain tries his luck. Maignan is disturbed by the rebound but pushes back.
8' – Konaté repels the danger
On the Italian free kick, the French defender and captain repels Tonali's cross with his head.
7' – Long sequence of Italian possession
The Transalpines keep the ball in the French camp. The Blues defense retreats and commits a foul about thirty meters from their goal.
5' – Contact sur Kolo Muani
The winger is launched on the right side. He tries to make another breakthrough but is pushed in the back by Bastoni, near the surface. Nothing was whistled but the contact was contentious.
3' – Rabiot entry for the Blues!! (0-1)
The Blues start the meeting in the best possible way! From a corner, Lucas Digne places a silky ball into the area. Adrien Rabiot wins and places a perfect header.
1' – Kolo Muani blocking sticks
Launched on the right side, the Paris Saint-Germain striker tries to overwhelm. But he is blocked by Bastoni, whose intervention is impeccable.
The match is on in Milan!
The Italians kick off the match on the San Siro pitch. At stake: the head of Group 2 of the League of Nations.

The hymns ring out
The “Marseillaise” is sung by the players of the France team. Before the Italian anthem, taken up by the transalpine selection as well as the stadium.

Both teams enter the field
There is total silence at San Siro to fully enjoy the players' entry onto the pitch. Kick-off in five minutes!
20:35
The Blues are missing a creator
The French team has been seriously lacking in inspiration in recent months. And things have not improved since the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann. A selection without leader or magic.
20:25
Mike Maignan, stadium darling?
The goalkeeper of the France team, adored by AC Milan supporters, where he has been playing since 2021, is reunited with his audience. He is much more popular than Donnarumma, the Italian doorman, absent this evening.
20:15
France will play in white this evening
For its last match of the year 2024, the French selection will wear its away jersey. Furthermore, Ibrahima Konaté will be the captain of the Blues this evening!
20:05
Home match, or almost, for some Blues
Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez, captains of AC Milan, return to the stadium they frequent at club this Sunday evening. Just like Inter players Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard.
