06/25/24 – 8:40 p.m. – Match summary
The Blues missed a great opportunity! Faced with Poland already eliminated, the French team aimed for first place in group D. With an eleven without Griezmann and with Barcola, Didier Deschamps’ players faced the surly Poles despite a meeting without stakes for them. Zielinski tries his luck but it ends up in Maignan’s gloves. Beyond this Polish occasion, Ousmane Dembélé and his friends very often brought danger to Skorupski’s cage, in vain. Lacking efficiency, the French attack lacked efficiency and accuracy in the last gesture. The Poles very often demonstrated heroic acts in defense during the first act. 0-0 at the break between the apathetic French team and a resistant Poland.
Returning from the locker room, the Blues became more pressing and the Poles were forced to go down a notch on the pitch. Faced with a heroic Skorupski, the Blues try and strike but the goalkeeper does not tremble. In the 56th minute of play, Ousmane Dembélé escaped into his lane and beat Kiwior in the area. Late, the Arsenal defender makes a mistake and gives the Blues a penalty. An opportunity transformed by Kylian Mbappé who scored his first goal in the competition. Trailing, the Poles are relaunching. As money time approaches, a harmless ball in the French area creates danger and Swiderski collapses following contact with Upamecano. After a VAR viewing, Marco Guida offers Poland the opportunity to equalize. Lewandowski sees his first attempt stopped by Maignan, coming off his goal line. On his second chance, the Polish captain does not crack. Until the final whistle, the French tried to seek victory, synonymous with first place. In vain and the Blues finished in second place in Group D, behind Austria.
06/25/24 – 8:15 p.m. – Rabiot: “Good opposition”
Adrien Rabiot at the microphone of TF1: “The evening is frustrating, we didn’t do enough to win tonight. We had everything between our feet and we didn’t do enough. The goalkeeper was good, we had a good opposition, but we have to do much better to score, we still have this problem of efficiency. We have not achieved the objective of first place.
