On the occasion of the final of the Women’s Nations League between Spain and France, this Wednesday, Amandine Henry will enter a little more into the history of the Blues.
A match for history. For the very first time, the French women’s team will play in the final of an international tournament. After eliminating Germany on Friday evening in the semi-final of the Nations League (2-1), the Blues challenge the Spanish world champions this Wednesday (7 p.m.) with the ambition of lifting their first trophy.
A special meeting for Amandine Henry. Indeed, the 34-year-old midfielder will honor her 100th selection (14 goals) against Spain. A symbolic bar for the former Lyonnaise, who made her return to Blue under the orders of Hervé Renard after being banned by Corinne Diacre.
“She knew how to find her place”
“We knew she was going to make her 100th selection and it’s symbolicconfided Eugénie Le Sommer at a press conference on Tuesday. When we say about a player that he or she has 100 caps, it immediately speaks for itself. I’m happy for her and it’s an important step. »
And the top scorer in the history of Les Bleues added: “Regarding her goal against Barcelona (in the C1 final in 2022), I remember the last time that Amandine Henry played against the Spanish and I have very good memories of it. I hope she has the same inspiration on Wednesday. In any case, she is a player who has the same role as before. She is a leader and executive of the team. She was able to find her place and things are going well. This is the Amandine I know. »
