This Sunday evening, the French team won in Italy (3-1) thanks in particular to a double from Adrien Rabiot. Thanks to this success, the Blues, qualified for the quarter-finals of the Nations League, finished first in their group.
They end on a good note. After a tasteless draw against Israel (0-0) on Thursday, Didier Deschamps' Blues made up for it perfectly this Sunday evening by beating Italy at San Siro in style (3-1).
The 2022 world vice-champions won thanks to a double from Adrien Rabiot (2nd, 65th) and an own goal from Italian goalkeeper Vicario on a direct free kick from Lucas Digne (33rd), despite the reduction in the score from Cambiaso (35th).
The Blues avoid Spain
“It’s been a long time since we had a match like that, all fighting together. The fighting spirit, the team spirit, must be underlined, confided the double scorer for Olympique de Marseille after the match. There was revenge to be taken from the first leg. This face is the true face of the France team. I spent a lot of time in Italy, it was quite successful for me. San Siro is a stadium that suits me, I scored my first goal there (with Juventus Turin, editor's note) against AC Milan.
France will face in the quarter-finals in March a team which finished second in its group, thus avoiding Spain, Portugal and Germany.
