You voted for Benzema

Invited to make their list of 26 players, Internet users from Figaro had integrated the Madrid striker in their ideal selection.

Here are the 26 most selected players in our survey:

Goalkeepers: Lloris the taulier, Maignan in front of Mandanda

Unsurprisingly, the plebiscite is total for the captain of the Blues, Hugo Lloris. With 98% of the vote, he is ahead of Mike Maignan (74%) and Steve Mandanda (63%). The second place of Lille, author of a great season with the LOSC, is reminiscent that he could occupy this rank at the Euro and exceed the Marseillais in the hierarchy of goalkeepers. So you would have seen it right and like Didier Deschamps. Answer Tuesday evening. World champion in Russia, Alphonse Areola, under contract with PSG but loaned to Fulham after a failed stint at Real Madrid, comes far behind the top three with 28% of the vote.

Defenders: a line of four… version Didier Deschamps

Benjamin Pavard on the right (94%), Lucas Hernandez on the left (94%) and a hinge Raphaël Varane (96%) - Presnel Kimpembe (86%). On this choice, you clearly imitate the coach, who should, except injury or mishap, align this defense against Germany on June 15 in Munich at the opening of the Euro. These four have killed the competition in your eyes. Behind, Lucas Digne (62%) is rewarded in the left lane, as is Ferland Mendy (55%), able to evolve on both sides of the rearguard. On the right, Léo Dubois (38%) settles down slowly in lining, while you trust Clément Lenglet (54%) and Dayot Upamecano (38%) in central defense. No Kurt Zouma (24%), yet expected in the list of 26.

Midfielders: the tauliers and the Camavinga nugget

With 99% of the votes, N'Golo Kanté is the first player you want to see in the France team. Sign of exceptional status and performance since the World Cup in Russia. And you associate him, like Didier Deschamps, with Paul Pogba (96%). On the sidelines of the Blues for months for refusing to be a substitute in 2018, Adrien Rabiot makes a resounding return and ranks third in the midfield with 88% of the vote. This trio, far ahead of the competition, is accompanied by Eduardo Camavinga (70%), Corentin Tolisso (66%) and Houssem Aouar (52%). A mixture of youth, solidity and technique. Not sure that this is the opinion of "DD".

Forwards: Benzema with Giroud, Mbappé and Griezmann

Many football lovers dream of seeing Karim Benzema in Didier Deschamps' list on Tuesday evening and your votes prove it.

With 41% of the votes, the Madrilenian accompanies the usual members of the attack of the world champions that are Kylian Mbappé (98%), Antoine Griezmann (96%), Kingsley Coman (87%) and Olivier Giroud (78%).

Ousmane Dembélé (59%), Anthony Martial (49%) and Wissam Ben Yedder (32%) complete this offensive line which would make many coaches dream.

Benzema bomb

While the contours of the list seemed obvious with few surprises to be expected, the announced return of Karim Benzema is causing a stir.

In turn, several media (Le Parisien, Europe 1, L'Equipe) have confirmed that the 33-year-old Real Madrid striker will indeed be part of the list of 26. A return that nobody expected under the era The fields.
