Before facing Portugal on Sunday and visiting Croatia next Wednesday in the League of Nations, the France team atomized a weak Ukraine (7-1) in a friendly, Wednesday night at the Stade de France.
In front of 1,000 spectators, Olivier Giroud scored his 41st and 42nd goals on the evening of his 100th selection.
The Chelsea striker overtook Michel Platini to climb to 2nd place in the ranking of the best scorers in the history of the Blues.
He is only nine lengths behind the master in the matter, Thierry Henry (51 goals).
Note that the Rennais Eduardo Camavinga, tenured for the first time by Didier Deschamps, scored his first goal in blue with a superb return and became, at 17, the youngest French scorer since Maurice Gastiger in 1914. Tolisso, Mbappé and Griezmann also scored for what constitutes France's biggest win at the Stade de France.
