In 2018, he was one of the heroes of the French team's coronation at the 2018 World Cup. Legendary in the semi-final with a header and a celebration that became iconic against Belgium, Samuel Umtiti became a real star in France after the competition. However, the rest of his career was not the success expected and planned for the player trained at OL.
Injured in the left knee which he strained during the competition in Russia, Umtiti experienced a slow descent into hell which forced him to retire a few weeks ago. This Friday, ahead of the meeting between the Blues and Azerbaijan, the Parc des Princes paid tribute to the former Barça player. After an entrance to the music 'Bring the Cup Home', Umtiti was adored by the crowd and was presented with a special jersey.
