Hugo Lloris definitely entered the history of French football this Saturday evening.
Six days after having equaled the record of selections with the Blues of Lilian Thuram, during the 8th final against Poland, the doorman of the France team has exceeded it.
Holder in the goal of the France team against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the captain of the world champions, 35, will honor his 143rd cap.
This record had been held since 2008 by the central defender.
Hugo Lloris began his career in the jersey of the France team in November 2008 during a friendly match against Uruguay.
Since then, the Tottenham goalkeeper has almost never left this starting position for the Blues before inheriting the captain's armband in November 2010. A true part of the French selection and privileged relay of Didier Deschamps, Lloris has a final of Euro 2016 and a title of world champion 2018.
