Foot: The Blues win the League of Nations on the road to the World Cup

Still stunning, the France team offered itself the League of Nations thanks to Kylian Mbappé, passer then scorer in Milan against the fresh and exciting Spain (2-1), enough to chase away the ghosts of the Euro a little more on the way to the World Cup. Thirteen months before the World Cup in Qatar (November 21-December 18, 2022), for which they are almost qualified, the reigning world champions have filled their trophy cabinet a little more by taking over from Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo , crowned in 2019. Above all, they tamed a "Roja" fall from the Italian European champions, Wednesday in the semi-finals, by displaying an unfailing strength of character, if not total control. After the stunning 3-2 victory Thursday against Belgium, the first nation in the FIFA rankings, the Blues made an impression and laid bricks for the future, despite the still smoking ruins of the failed Euro this summer. In the afternoon, Italy took third place in the competition by beating Belgium (2-1) at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.
