And suddenly, at the end of the meal in their hotel in Budapest, laughter and songs broke out within the France team. This Thursday evening, Clément Lenglet, the international defender of Barcelona, celebrated his 26th birthday. And the tradition is well anchored: when an international blows out his candles at a rally, he is entitled to his personalized cake to the applause and swearing of his teammates. Surrounded by Marcus Thuram on his right and Paul Pogba on his left and under the hilarious gaze of Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé, Lenglet saw a large strawberry cake arrive, a priori without cream, to celebrate his 26th birthday.
The players then turned into the audience of host Patrick Sébastien, author of the unforgettable hit “turn the towels”, and each waved their own to encourage Clément Lenglet to launch into a short speech.
“I wanted to thank you for this cake and for everything we are going through together, launched the former central defender of Nancy. I hope there are still lots of beautiful things to come with victories and something very beautiful at the end. Thank you all. »
While a “Super Clem” was launched from the back of the room, the Barcelonan sat down. This video attests to a festive and relaxed atmosphere for the Blues as their second match against Hungary looms on Saturday. A second victory after that won on Tuesday against Germany and the bursts of laughter could multiply within the France team.
