The three France players who impressed during the international break 🇫🇷

World Cup Goal!

France won both of its international matches during this break, against Ukraine (2-0) and Iceland (2-1). Two matches played, during which several players stood out.

We've selected three who made an impact.

Jean-Philippe Mateta

Called up for the first time at 28, the Crystal Palace striker did the job. After a good entry against Azerbaijan, he then started the match as a starter against Iceland.

Initially shy at the beginning of the game, he then opened his account with his first goal for the national team.

2 matches, 1 goal, not bad for a first international break!  

Malo Gusto

For the third consecutive gathering, the Chelsea right-back is with the French team.

Starting against Azerbaijan, Gusto proved that he will be a key player in the coming months.

In a position where nothing seems decided yet for Didier Deschamps, the former OL player was spot on.

He showed that he could both secure his flank and actively participate in the offensive build-up. 

Maghnes Akliouche

With a decisive assist for his third cap with the French team during the draw in Iceland (2-2), Maghnes Akliouche delivered.

Already noticeable against Azerbaijan where he came on in the second half, the AS Monaco midfielder continues to make a good impression.

Enough to convince Deschamps in the long term?
