One of fall. Undefeated under the orders of their new coach, Zinédine Zidane, the Blues fell to Italy (3-1) this Thursday, during the fifth day of the Nations League. However, they opened the scoring through Olise, before conceding a double from Esposito and a goal from Frattesi. Before the last day and the reception of Turkey (4th, 0 points), Sunday, France is overtaken by Italy at the top of the group A1 ranking. In fact, the two teams are tied with 10 points, just ahead of Belgium (9 pts), who won 2-1 in Izmir earlier this Thursday. Nothing is going well, play your games.

Mike Maignan (4): he is surprised by the Italian equalizer on a strange evening. Quiet for a long time, he made two good saves (28th, 52nd), before losing twice more subsequently. Infuriating.
