They were the two most anticipated players of this friendly against Ukraine and they did not disappoint.
The experienced Olivier Giroud and the novice Eduardo Camavinga splashed their class in the first act of the meeting.
It was the young Camavinga who struck the first.
A month after his first 30 minutes with the Blues achieved against Croatia (4-2), the Rennais took advantage of a strike from Giroud rejected by the Ukrainian goalkeeper to lob the latter with a subtle return.
A magnificent and historic goal.
He becomes, in fact, the 2nd youngest Habs behind a certain Maurice Gastiger scorer in March ... 1914 against Switzerland at 17 years and 5 months.
The native of Miconje (Angola), who will celebrate his 18th birthday on November 10, shouted his joy, shouting “Mum!
Then drew a heart with his hands before being congratulated by all of his teammates.
After only one season in Ligue 1, the minot crosses the stages at very high speed.
Already courted by the biggest clubs of the Old Continent, Camavinga does not know the pressure.
Even if it was a little less impactful than during its first cap, it is already showing itself at ease within this team of France.
After Kylian Mbappé, we can even think that the future of the selection looks bright with a second prodigy.
Good with the Blues, replacing with the Blues
Once the Camavinga show passed, Olivier Giroud took over.
Determined to celebrate with great fanfare his 100th selection with the Blues (the 8th in the history of the France team), the one-night captain did not do things by halves.
He first mystified Bushchan with a splendid shot wound at 20 m (2-0, 24th) after an excellent service from Tolisso before deceiving a second time the Ukrainian doorman with a furious diving header (3-0, 34th ).
Thanks to a double scored in just 10 minutes, the Chelsea striker climbs one place (2nd) on the podium of the top scorers in the history of the Blues.
With a total of 42 achievements, he now exceeds Michel Platini by one unit.
Only Thierry Henry (51 goals) is now ahead.
After a thunderous end to the season with his club where he scored several decisive goals for qualification in the Champions League, Giroud is again confined to a replacement role with the Blues, helmed by Tammy Abraham.
But once again, the former Montpellier player proves his efficiency with each of his blue outings and shows that he will have to be counted on again this season.
If he retains his efficiency, he can even hope to get closer to Thierry Henry's record by the final phase of the Euro scheduled for next June.
Didier Deschamps therefore has experience and youth in his team, that is to say an ideal cocktail to tackle this very long season unlike any other.
