Quick Look

Victorious over Belgium (4-1), the French team retains the lead in its group in the League of Nations and is getting closer to the quarter-finals, which it will reach in the event of a draw against Italy.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The French team leads Group A of the Nations League after a 4-1 victory against Belgium.

Font size

The success of the France team on Monday against Mark van Bommel's Red Devils (4-1) brings the Blues closer to qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Nations League. A victory which took shape in the final minutes of the match and which allows them to retain the lead in Group A, two days before the end of the group stage.

Italy, the next opponent for Zinédine Zidane's men, on November 12 in Milan, is the runner-up to the Blues with three points and an unfavorable goal difference (+5 against +3). Belgium, for its part, is in third place with a delay of four units.

A draw will be enough

The final victory of the Nazionale against Turkey (3-1) deprived the French team of qualification on Monday, but this could be validated next month, during their fifth match in the competition. Only one thing to do: don't lose. Indeed, a draw (or a victory obviously) on Italian soil will be enough for the Blues to see the quarter-finals of the League of Nations.
