Even without their star forward Kylian Mbappé starting the match, France delivered a convincing 2-0 victory against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League on Monday. 🇫🇷⚽
Two of Mbappé's former Paris Saint-Germain teammates, Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele, were the heroes of the night, scoring powerful goals on either side of halftime in a thrilling game held in Lyon.
This win is crucial for France as they aim to climb the ranks in their Nations League group, especially after a tough 3-1 loss to Italy in Paris last Friday. With Italy leading the four-team group following their 2-1 win over Israel, France is determined to bounce back strong.
Mbappé, who recently joined Real Madrid, was given a well-deserved rest after the European Championship semifinals exit against Spain two months ago. Coach Didier Deschamps decided to ease him into the game, ultimately bringing him on as a substitute in the 67th minute to replace Kolo Muani.
The strategic decision paid off, showcasing France's depth and resilience as they continue to compete fiercely in the tournament. Stay tuned for more updates on the UEFA Nations League! ✨
