For the moment, it is absolutely flawless for the Blues in these qualifications for Euro 2024: five matches, five victories, five clean heats and eleven goals scored. It is therefore logical that Didier Deschamps’ men are at the top of Group B, six points ahead of their Dutch rivals (who are one game behind).
In the event of a victory in Amsterdam against the Netherlands, the France team would already secure its place at Euro 2024. A simple draw could also be enough for the Blues, provided that Greece loses at the same time against Ireland. But it is in search of three points that Kylian Mbappé and his team are traveling this Friday. During the first leg, the French captain scored a double, and helped his team to outclass their main opponent in Group B, by inflicting a clinical 4-0 on them.
In the final moments of the match, Mike Maignan even stopped a penalty from Memphis Depay, and further disgusted the overwhelmed Orange. The Milan goalkeeper was also the only one absent from training this Tuesday at Clairefontaine.
He did not participate in the Blues’ collective training, but is traveling to Amsterdam, where the Tricolores landed on Thursday, on the eve of the match.
Netherlands-France will kick off at 8:45 p.m. this Friday, October 13, and the match will be broadcast live on TF1. You can also watch the match in full, with live commentary, on our website leparisien.fr.
