Amazing! This Friday, September 6th marks the start of a new competition for Didier Deschamps’ Blues. After a gloomy Euro, poor in goals and emotions, the 2018 world champions, looking for a new lease of life, are keen to have a good run in this Nations League. The evening’s match between France and Italy in the Nations League was already shaping up to be a shock, but no one could have predicted such a start to the match. Broadcast on TF1 and commentated by the iconic duo composed of Grégoire Margotton and Bixente Lizarazu, the game got off to a flying start. Bradley Barcola, lined up by Didier Deschamps alongside Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and Michael Olise in attack, wasted no time in justifying his coach’s confidence. Barely after the kick-off, the 21-year-old took advantage of an Italian turnover to grab the ball and beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with a clinical strike. The lightning-fast goal, scored after just 13 seconds, went straight into the history books as the fastest ever scored by a French player.
“We barely had time to settle in”
On social media, the reaction of Internet users was immediate and spectacular. The supporters, taken aback and stunned by the speed of the action, expressed their joy. Like the comment of an Internet user on X who exclaimed: “Pouahaha Barcola’s goal in 14 seconds!”, reflecting the general excitement. Another Internet user called Barcola “mentally ill”, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of his performance. The emotion was palpable, some even admitting to being “IN TEARS” at this dazzling start to the match. The speed of the action took everyone by surprise, as illustrated by this tweet: “I didn’t even have time to write a message that it made an impression.”
Despite a party spoiled by the clear defeat against Italy (3-1) and a ghostly Kyllian Mbappé, Bradley Barcola’s feat not only electrified the supporters but also demonstrated the exceptional potential of the 21-year-old player who does not lack praise on X from Internet users excited by the new nugget of Paris Saint-Germain and now star of the French team.
