A photo published on social networks by the FFF, excluding Karim Benzema in particular, scandalized many Internet users.

The Blues are set. This Thursday took place the draw for the groups for the next Nations League campaign, which will begin next September. Placed in the third hat of League A due to its disappointing performance during the previous edition, the French team inherited Italy, Belgium and Israel.

Alongside the draw, the official Blues account on X (formerly Twitter) posted this message: “A competition that revives memories. See you this evening from 6 p.m. for the draw for the Nations League groups which will begin next September! »it was written, accompanied by a cropped photo of the coronation of the gang in Deschamps in 2021.

“It’s crazy to be ungrateful like that”

Indeed, in the photo shared by the FFF, Karim Benzema does not appear, like Paul Pogba, Aurélien Tchouaméni or even Jules Koundé. And this absence of the 2022 Ballon d’Or, despite scoring in the final against Spain, did not fail to make Internet users react.

“Why did you cut Benzema, Pogba, Koundé and Tchouaméni? », “Why cut back on Benzema when it’s thanks to him that you won it? », “Shameful you cut one of the flagship players of our team “, “It’s crazy to be ungrateful like that”can we read among the many comments under the photo.
