Mission accomplished for the French team and Didier Deschamps. Already assured of finishing at the top of its group, the French selection has also validated its status as top seed for the Euro 2024 draw by picking up three points following its large victory over Gibraltar (14-0), this Saturday evening in Nice. Relieved at the end of the meeting, the French technician believes that the Blues have fulfilled their part of the contract even if no relaxation will be tolerated against Greece.

“We had to win two points with the two remaining matches so as not to find ourselves in a situation that we had less control over. We were able to see this during the last Euro where we found ourselves in the same group as Portugal and Germany and where we left some feathers. This group is competitive, they always want more. In Greece, we are not going to do tourism”assured Didier Deschamps at the microphone of TF1.
