A reunion in the semi-finals of Euro 2024. Reigning European champions, the Swedes eliminated the Blues in 2022 in the last four. This evening, the French team will try to take revenge on the most successful nation in the competition. The only undefeated team in the European Championship, France will play its fifth semi-final in a row since the arrival of Guillaume Gille at the head of the group. The coach will be able to rely on Nikola Karabatictop scorer in the history of the Euro who finds himself five points shy of the 300-goal mark.
Before returning to Sweden with his players, Guillaume Gille returned to France’s historic confrontation with a team it faced during the 12 major competitions (Euro, World Cup, Olympics): “A rivalry? I don’t think so, it’s a high-altitude clash for more than four seasons at this stage of the competition with very contrasting memories. In particular defeats which had hurt us. The contexts were also very different from today. Our team is much more stable, much more sure of its strengths and its game. Sweden has also progressed. Its consistency at international level in all major competitions proves its very high quality. We will have to deliver a huge performance to leave them behind, that’s what concerns us rather than a possible rivalry, that’s literature.”
