France proved their squad depth is no joke on Monday, securing a dominant 2-0 victory over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League — even with superstar Kylian Mbappé starting on the bench! ⚽🔥
Paris Saint-Germain alumni Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembélé stole the spotlight, delivering thunderous goals before and after halftime in Lyon. Talk about squad goals! 💥
Coach Didier Deschamps played it smart, resting Mbappé after the Real Madrid forward’s packed summer at Euro 2024. The captain made a brief 67th-minute appearance, but the game was already in the bag 👜. France’s win softens the sting of Friday’s 3-1 loss to Italy, who now lead the group after defeating Israel 2-1.
With young talents stepping up and Mbappé’s 🔥 form preserved for bigger battles, Les Bleus are showing why they remain a global soccer powerhouse. Stay tuned for more twists in the Nations League drama! 🌍🏆
