The French team, victorious in Italy (1-3) last Sunday for its last group match, will face Croatia in the quarter-finals of the League of Nations, as decided by the draw carried out this Friday in Nyon ( Swiss). The first leg will take place on March 20, 2025 in Croatia, and the return will take place on March 23, 2025 in France.
If successful, things will get complicated for the Blues in the semi-finals, since they will have to face, on June 4 or 5, 2025, the winner of the duel between Spain, the reigning European champion, and the Netherlands, semi-finalists of Euro 2024.
The Blues are pretty well off in the quarters
With Croatia in the quarter-finals, Didier Deschamps' men, who finished at the top of their group after their great success in Italy on Sunday (3-1), were rather well off. The checkered selection is in fact in clear decline since its two exploits during the 2018 (final) and 2022 (semi-final) World Cups.
Always led by the indestructible Luka Modric, 39, she was eliminated in the first round of Euro 2024 and finished second in her group in the Nations League, behind Portugal.
In addition to the clash between Spain and the Netherlands, the other quarter-finals will pit Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal against Denmark and Germany against Italy, a prestigious match between two quadruple world champion nations.
The semi-finals are scheduled for June 4 and 5, while the final and third place match will take place on June 8.
