It is a friendly match played by the France team 34 years ago but which the Blues at the time still remember.
On March 26, 1986 at Parc des Princes, France beat Argentina (2-0) on goals from Ferreri and Vercruysse.
But this meeting marked the French because in the ranks of the Albiceleste, the captain was called Diego Maradona, who died this Wednesday at the age of 60.
Unfortunately for the beautiful photos, Michel Platini was forfeited that evening.
"I will have no reason to remember this match if it hadn't been for Maradona in front," said striker Daniel Xuereb.
He hadn't made a great match either.
But being against the best player in the world is still good.
I also remember that I had tried to recover his jersey but it was Jean Tigana who got it!

"I couldn't take my eyes off him"
Striker Bruno Bellone has kept a very precise picture of this match.
"I slammed after twenty minutes because of him because I forgot to warm up," he laughs.
You know why ?
Because I spent my time watching him warm up.
He hypnotized me with his touch of the ball.
I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"And Bellone was marked by a moment:" While he was juggling the ball, someone sent him an orange.
He picked it up and juggled it, alternating head and foot controls.
A wizard.
I also had the chance to see him in the final of the World Cup 86 where, with France, we were placed behind the goals.
Unforgettable.

Defender William Ayache had him scoring during the game.
He too has not forgotten anything.
“To face a genius, that marks.
He hadn't played a great game but on two or three actions he was impressive.
There are few players that I say I had the chance to face.
He is one of them.
I also played against him in a pre-season tournament with Nantes while he was in Barcelona.
And there is also the Michel Platini jubilee in Nancy where he had come.
I've not forgotten anything.
"
Maxime Bossis, the elegant stopper of the Blues, also remembers everything.
“Confronting Maradona is still special,” he said.
He remains the player who made me dream the most.
Already at the 1978 World Cup, the Argentines spoke only of him when he was only 17 years old.
On Michel Platini's jubilee, I also remember that I was next to him in the locker room.
He will remain one of the two or three greatest players in all of history.
