A new record for Eugénie Le Sommer. Entry into play at the very end of the game during the Blue victory against Norway (1-0) in the Nations League, Friday evening in Toulouse, the 35-year-old attacker honored his 198e selection. She thus became the most capped player in the history of the French women's team, tied with Sandrine Soubeyrand.

Already the best scorer in the history of the selection, Eugénie Le Sommer still seated her status as a legend of French women's football. Only shade on the board: its empty trophy cabinet. However, Lyonnaise participated in ten major competitions. Three euros (2009, 2013, 2017), four World Cups (2011, 2015, 2019, 2023) and three Olympic Games (2012, 2016, 2024). She only missed Euro 2022 in England. A scar still open.

The top: “I don't understand and I find it a shame”

Disposted from the France group for two years, “ELS” has never really digested Corinne Diacre's decision. “” I don't understand and I find it a shame, had she declared in the columns of Figaro in 2023. But, that's how it is. We are all different, with different personalities, seeing things differently. It was not my perception of things, but I couldn't do anything about it. It is very difficult to change some people. »»

Recalled by Hervé Renard only a few weeks before the 2023 World Cup in Australia, Eugénie Le Sommer had not hidden her joy. “” I feel a lot of happiness after two difficult years (…) but it is not a revenge », She had entrusted her return to the Blue. This summer in Switzerland, the native of Grasse will play her 11e major competition with Euro 2025. Its last?
