Three days after the sad draw against Israel (0-0), the Blues are back at it again, Sunday November 17, with a trip to Milan to face Italy.
Marcus Thuram's teammates, slapped in the first leg (1-3) by these same “Azzurri”, can still turn everything upside down in this League of Nations.
A match to follow from 8:45 p.m. on TF1info.
Will they finish 2024 better than they started it? Last March, overwhelmed, the Blues lost in Germany (0-2). Eight months later, they are preparing to end a gloomy year, with a final trip. For this last outing, three days after the disastrous draw against Israel (0-0), Didier Deschamps' men go to Italy, to Milan more precisely, to face a Blue team reinvigorated and full of confidence, Sunday November 17 (at 8:45 p.m., live on TF1, streaming on TF1+ (new window) and live commentary on TF1info).
For Marcus Thuram partners (new window)already qualified for the quarter-finals of the League of Nations, this poster against the Azzurri is more than just a gala match. Besides the spirit of revenge which will animate them, after the loss conceded on the way out (1-3) (new window)the world vice-champions can still snatch first place in their group.
A victory by at least two goals would ensure them to finish ahead of their transalpine neighbor. And thus avoid a double confrontation against the “big guys”, namely Spain, Portugal or Germany, next March.
