They played their role as vice-captain
Newly retired, Antoine Griezmann (5 capitanats) first took advantage of the packages of Lloris and Varane, on September 25, 2022 against Denmark (0-2), to honor his first captaincy. After the international retirement of the goalkeeper, it is Kylian Mbappé who inherits the armband, with “Grizou” as vice-captain. On four occasions, Mbappé’s absence led him to leave his role as second-in-command to assume the role of captain (Germany-France in a friendly, Greece-France in Euro qualifiers, France-Canada after Giroud’s exit , see below, in a friendly, Netherlands-France at the Euro).
