Already qualified for the World Cup in Qatar, the France team is not affected by the play-off matches that Italy and Portugal will play in particular.
The Blues will still put on their tunics during two friendly matches against Côte d'Ivoire next Friday in Marseille and then against South Africa four days later in Lille.
Several players called up by Didier Deschamps were on point this weekend.
Overview of their performance.
Monegasques and Bavarians feast, Giroud decisive
In Blue, he does not enjoy the same status of indisputable holder as in the principality.
But the two new goals scored by
Wissam Ben Yedder
in Ligue 1 are necessarily good news for the France group.
Faced with a very weak PSG, the former Toulousain first perfectly cut off a cross from Fofana at the near post before giving more scope to the Monegasque success on penalty in the second half (3-0).
A meeting in which took part
Aurélien Tchouaméni
, rather good in the midfield of the ASM.
Across the Rhine, other tricolors were in verve this weekend.
Former Parisian
Kingsley Coman
put Bayern on the right track against Union Berlin.
With a powerful shot from 25 meters from the right foot, on a service from
Lucas Hernandez
, he scored the first goal of the Munich 4-0 success.
In Italy,
Olivier Giroud
,
recalled by Deschamps on Saturday in the absence of Karim Benzema
,
once again distinguished himself in the jersey of AC Milan against Cagliari.
No goal but a nice decisive pass in the register he likes.
A well-felt back-to-goal return for the Algerian Ismaël Bennacer who concluded with a superb left-footed strike.
1-0 success for the Rossoneri with
Théo Hernandez
starter on the left side of defence.
Tested positive on March 17 for Covid 19,
Benjamin Pavard
was absent.
His presence, this Monday at Clairefontaine, is far from guaranteed.
In the event of a package, the staff could call Upamecano (Bayern Munich), William Saliba (Marseille) or even Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool).
Victory also for
Antoine Griezmann
with Atlético during the Madrid derby against Rayo Vallecano (0-1) but also for the
newcomer Jonathan Clauss
, winner of Clermont with Lens (3-1).
With Chelsea,
N'Golo Kanté
qualified for the FA Cup semi-finals against Middlesbrough but only played 20 minutes.
Adrien Rabiot
participated in the entire match won by Juventus against the red lantern Salernitana (2-0), as did
Matteo Guendouzi
, in legs against Nice (2-1).
Not selected among the 23,
Ousmane Dembélé
confirms his return to the fore and sets a date for the June deadlines in the League of Nations.
Sunday evening, the winger was essential in the card inflicted on Real Madrid (0-4).
Double decisive passer, he also participated in the third before being replaced in the 80th minute.

The Parisians cry, Nkunku mute
He is definitely alone in this team.
Kylian Mbappé
did everything to get PSG out of the Monegasque rut but his partners did not follow him.
Presnel Kimpembe
, to name a few, gave Wissam Ben Yedder surprising freedom on the opening goal before conceding a second-half penalty for a 3-0 final defeat.
He left PSG three years ago.
Christopher Nkunku
is enjoying the heyday of Leipzig with 26 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season.
But this weekend, he did not find the fault at home against Eintracht Frankfurt (0-0).
Same personal record without a goal for
Moussa Diaby
with Bayer Leverkusen, even if Paulinho, author of a double, offered the victory to his people at the very end of the match against Wolfsburg (0-2).
Hugo Lloris
didn't have much work to do in Tottenham's 3-1 victory over West Ham, and yet the tricolor goalkeeper couldn't stop the Hammers' only shot on target - a beautiful hits at the far post from a corner.
Not retained for the next two meetings of the Blues,
Kurt Zouma
, always whistled by the English supporters, scored a goal against his side from the start.
