Because if the Blues were exciting during the return match at the Stade de France, they completely passed through the first leg played in Split. The fault notably with the bankruptcy of the midfielder. Positioned as a playmaker, Matteo Guendouzi was thus catastrophic and some did not fail to regret the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann.
