Opposition of the day

Marcus Thuram, twice, Eduardo Camavinga and Jordan Veretout scored the four goals for the tricolor victory (4-0).

The Madrid player could be an option in the wake of Théo Hernandez, the only specialist in the position since the injury of his brother Lucas.

He also played as a right winger.
