Afterwards, we don't have a bowl, I think our three group games, we play them every time at the same time as CDM matches (Club World Cup). So necessarily a little disappointed. But PSG is a French club that has a final to play. »»
The tricolor midfielder concluded by comparing the two games: “Between a final and a group match, TF1 may have a better audience by choosing the Paris match. »» In the aftermath of this press conference, things have changed again and good news came to soften the disappointment of tricolor internationals since France 2 has recovered the diffusion rights and will therefore offer the Blue Match in Prime Time.
