Mandanda: 4.5
.
Captain of the Blues for the second time in his career, the goalkeeper did not have much to do.

A stoppage of the foot in front of Valakari (48th) and an easy intervention in front of Ojala (55th).
Dubois: 4.5.
Little disturbed by the Finnish attackers, the Lyonnais has thrown himself a lot.
Without too much success except on a perfect cross for Thuram (18th).
Replaced by Ruben Aguilar (71st) for his first selection.
Zouma: 4.
17 months to the day after his last appearance, the Chelsea defender delivered a discreet performance with significant technical waste.
He took no risk in his raises.
A head too stung on a corner from Griezmann (75th).
Lenglet: 3.5.
In line with his last outings in Blue, the Barcelonan lacked authority and percussion in his interventions.
Caught up in speed by Forss on the opening scoring (0-1, 28th).
Replaced by Varane (80th).
Worthy: 6.
Available, he was precise in his centers, especially for Giroud (6th).
On a corner, he drops the ball on the head of Thuram (18th).
An interesting technical relationship with Thuram and defensive efforts paid off.

Pogba: 5.5.
Very active and aggressive in recovery, he tried to instill a little rebellion in an amorphous tricolor animation.

Thuram: 5.5.
Inspired from his first ball catches, the neo-Blue was the most dangerous but lacked precision.
