November 14, 2024 (changed at 10.54pm) – MILANO
The alert was maximum, and one might think… fortunately. Because the Nations League match between France and Israel was considered “high risk” by the local authorities due to the tensions between the two fans, and indeed there were clashes. Chaos arose during the anthems, when thousands of whistles could be heard at the moment of the Israeli one. An event that even sparked some commotion in the stands, promptly quelled by the police.

If unpleasant events occurred away from the pitch, which to be honest were expected, on a sporting level only positive news arrived from the Stade de France. Because the match between France and Israel ended at 0-0 despite being one-sided. Deschamps’ team held the ball for over 70% of the match, kicking 24 times compared to just 3 (only 1 towards Maignan’s goal) by Israel. A result, combined with Camavinga’s warning that he will miss the match against Italy on Sunday, which gives a lot of play to Spalletti’s Azzurri who won in Brussels. Now, the Nations League Group 2 ranking says Italy first at +3 over France, with Belgium now very far away at 4 points and Israel at 1.
