By beating Italy on Sunday in Milan (1-3), the Blues finished first in their Nations League group, thus reserving a possibly more affordable quarter-final, with a return match to be played at home.
At the end of the matches played this Monday evening, Didier Deschamps’ men now know their three potential opponents, i.e. the three runners-up in groups 1, 3 and 4. Starting with the Netherlands guaranteed to finish behind Germany and ahead of Hungary before their final match in Bosnia on Tuesday evening.
Quarter outward on March 20, return on the 23rd
On March 20, three days before returning to the Stade de France, the French selection will also be able to travel to Croatia, where a draw against Portugal was observed this Monday (1-1). The Croats thus finished ahead of the Scots, who defeated Poland at the same time (1-2).
The third alternative for the Blues will eventually be played in Denmark, the Danes having held off Serbia this evening (0-0) while Spain asserted its leadership at the expense of Switzerland (3-2).
