CdM 2026, Senegal: Moussa Niakhaté’s reaction when facing France

This will be one of the shocks of the group stages of the 2026 World Cup. The French team, in Group I, will go to challenge Senegal as in 2002. A very interesting sporting poster for the Blues who will necessarily have to be wary of a Senegalese team with a fairly impressive squad.

Senegal has several well-known faces from our Ligue 1, notably Moussa Niakhaté. The OL defender who publicly expressed his desire to face France a few days ago. “Personally I hope for France, because it’s a match we can’t lose! This is a match for which the coach will not even need a pre-match speech.. He was served. And the 29-year-old defender is very happy to face France as he expressed it on his X account with an explicit post: “Chaaaaaaaaaa 🤯🔥😁”
