L’équipe de France a assuré l’essentiel pour son entrée en lice à l’Euro 2024, en dominant l’Autriche 1-0 ce lundi 17 juin.

A successful introduction, we will say. Three points won, the main thing is there. The French team was content with a small 1-0 and an own goal from Wöber (38th) to launch their Euro. The score could have been much heavier, with three missed chances from captain Kylian Mbappé (8th, 55th, 66th).

Kanté on top, Mbappé hit in the head

The meeting was marked by the return to the top of N’golo Kanté. The former Chelsea midfielder, now exiled in Qatar (Al-Itthihad), was everywhere on the pitch. Coach Didier Deschamps found one of his main men from the title in 2018.

On the other hand, the black point of the evening, the injury exit of Kylian Mbappé in the 90th. The future Real Madrid striker hit his nose while attempting a header. News will come this evening. A displacement of the nasal septum is advanced.

Next deadline for the French, the Netherlands on June 21 (6 p.m.).
