Present at the Parc des Princes for the final of the Olympic football tournament, Didier Deschamps took the third goal conceded by France against Spain, from a free kick, badly.
He was there. Didier Deschamps made the trip to the Parc des Princes for the final of the Olympic football tournament between France and Spain. To see the team of the man who could be his successor at the head of the French A team, Thierry Henry, play.
In the first half, Didier Deschamps clearly did not like what he saw. The scenario first reminded him of the Euro 2024 semi-final between these two countries, with a quick opening goal from Les Bleus, and a scathing response from Spain, with two goals in quick succession. After Kolo Muani, Yamal and Koundé (own goal), the scorers this time were Enzo Millot and Fermin Lopez, who scored twice.
Deschamps shot dead by free kick
But the worst was yet to come with this free kick from Alex Baena, which left Guillaume Restes without reaction for the 3-1. Perfectly placed to see the trajectory of the Villarreal player’s strike, Didier Deschamps, sitting in the stands alongside Youri Djorkaeff and Arsène Wenger, did not hide his disappointment. “DD” hid his face with his hand, in spite.
The Blues now have 45 minutes to turn the tide and put a smile back on the face of the captain of the 1998 world champions.
