The Blues are sentenced to feat on Sunday evening against Croatia after their defeat during the first leg this Thursday, March 20.

Consequently, the Blues bowed 2-0 and are now sentenced to the feat at the Stade de France on Sunday evening. “Very quickly, we made too many technical errors, approximations. An opponent, already who has quality, when we give him opportunities, he punished us. Even if Mike (Maignan) stops this penalty, there is not much that I liked in this first half. We can talk about lots of things but between technical errors, in the guidelines) … It was very laborious.”

To add to the stake, four tickets for the dams of the World Cup 2026 were also reserved for the best teams of this Nations League, not qualified via the playoffs.
