The French team has a Parisian flavor this Saturday evening to challenge Germany at Groupama Stadium. In the blue eleven there are four PSG players: Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernandez, Kylian Mbappé and Warren Zaire-Emery. An extremely rare occurrence in the history of the French selection. We have to go back to June 6, 1996 to find a similar situation. At the time, five Parisians were included in the eleven selected to play in the semi-final of the Euro, against the Czech Republic (0-0, 6-5 on the tabs). They were Bernard Lama, Alain Roche, Vincent Guérin, Youri Djorkaeff and Patrice Loko.
After more than an hour of play, the France team is trailing 2-0 in Lyon. Florian Wirtz opened the scoring with a powerful shot fired after 7 seconds of play. The fastest goal conceded by the Blues. At the start of the second half, Kai Havertz scored his 15th goal for the selection. For his 150th match on the French bench, Didier Deschamps is surely hoping for a different outcome than the one that is currently emerging.
