Opposed to Italy on Sunday evening during the 6th and final day of the Nations League, the French team can still finish at the top of its group. Explanations.
End of the first round of the Nations League on Sunday evening for the Blues (8:45 p.m.). Second in the standings of group A2, with ten points, against thirteen for Italy, Didier Deschamps' men challenge those of Luciano Spalletti at San Siro. The objective is clear: show a different face after the calamity of the match against Israel (0-0) and finish first in the group. What would that be for? Next March the quarter-finals of the competition take place, and if France is already qualified whatever happens in Milan, it would offer itself a more affordable opponent in the event of first place.
In the other groups, Portugal and Spain are guaranteed to finish first. If the Blues are 2nd, they will face one of these opponents. In the event of first place, it could come down to more or less high-sounding names (Croatia, Netherlands or Hungary, Denmark or Serbia). The stage is set. To finish first, the world vice-champions know their mission. It is “enough” to beat Italy with at least a two-goal margin. The two nations would be tied on points, but the French team would pass its Sunday opponent thanks to the general goal difference.
