New record for Hugo Lloris.
By logically starting this Wednesday evening in the semi-final of the World Cup against Morocco, the captain of the France team celebrates his 19th appearance in the competition: 3 in 2010, 5 in 2014, 6 in 2018 and 5 in 2022. A total that allows the Nice to join Manuel Neuer among the most capped goalkeepers in the history of the World Cup.
The French and the German are ahead of the Brazilian Claudio Taffarel.
What do the three have in common?
They all have a star on the list.
19 - Hugo Lloris🇫🇷 will play his 19th game in the World Cup, equaling Manuel Neuer as the most capped goalkeeper in the history of the competition.

Whatever happens in this meeting between France and Morocco, Hugo Lloris will be able to celebrate his 20th appearance this weekend, either in the small final against Croatia or in the final against Argentina.
During this World Cup, the goalkeeper has already recorded several records.
He notably overtook Lilian Thuram and his 142 selections for the France team, totaling 144 meetings with the blue jersey this Wednesday evening.
