It was already a great story, it is even more so after this new goal scored by Florian Thauvin. No longer called up for the French team since June 11, 2019, the Racing Club de Lens player took advantage of Bradley Barcola's injury to rejoin the French group. Coming into play at the end of the match this Friday against Azebaijan, he scored on his first ball.
Second goal for the French team for the former OM who took advantage of a cross from the left and signed Théo Hernandez. A check and a mid-height half-volley later, Florian Thauvin deceived the vigilance of the opposing goalkeeper to score the third goal for the Blues this evening at the Parc des Princes.
Thauvin scores on his return
Entering under the whistles of part of the public, Florian Thauvin silenced everyone a few seconds later. His teammates all came to surround him to congratulate him. A great moment for the footballer who will have taken full advantage of this unexpected return to the French team.
Enough to push Didier Deschamps to recall him at a future gathering? In the meantime, he will perhaps still have the opportunity to show himself in three days against Iceland.
