Selma Bacha created a small controversy after the elimination of the French women's team against Germany in the quarterfinals of the Euro last Saturday. The Lyon side also entered the Blues' courtyard.

“Hot, after a match like this, words sometimes go beyond thought. The emotion takes up all the space, and the lucidity lacks. Since then, I have taken a step back. I read, I heard, I cashed “. Selma Bacha returned to her remarks which made controversy after the elimination of the French team in the quarterfinals of the Women's Euro in Switzerland, last Saturday, at the end of an endless evening concluded in penalties (1-1 Tab: 2-3). The players of Laurent Bonadei, however, evolved at 11 against 10 from the 14th minute!

“We wanted to have fun, we rushed a little about certain things. We lacked luck. They did not propose anything, they defended well, they were aggressive but they were dominated from A to Z. They are qualified, I am sorry to say it, it is not even deserved, except that they are in half. I am a bad loser “had notably launched the OL player in front of the press after the road exit.

Very offensive left side, with a very beautiful left leg (and used a higher notch by Hervé Renard during the 2023 World Cup), Selma Bacha brought danger to the Germans, but was not taken from a shot to the goal. She missed the first shot to the goal during the elimination against Australia at the last World Cup … It was the young central defender Alice Sombath who missed the seventh French attempt at the session.
