His return had raised questions and was accompanied by doubts. Finally, Florian Thauvin silenced his detractors this Friday against Azerbaijan. Having had a good start to the season with RC Lens, the 32-year-old winger, who had not been called up for six years, scored the second goal of his international career after three minutes on the pitch.
Indeed, found on a beautiful cross from the left, the one who entered in place of Kylian Mbappé did not hesitate. After a nice control, the former OM player fired a precise volley with his left foot. A goal which quickly transformed the whistles at the Parc des Princes into deserved applause.
