After Les Bleues’ victory over Germany on Friday evening in the semi-finals of the Nations League, Eugénie Le Sommer entered the history of the France team a little further.
For the first time in its history, the French women’s team qualified for the final of an international tournament. All after beating Germany (2-1), Friday evening at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, in the semi-finals of the Nations League.
On this occasion, Eugénie Le Sommer, who remained silent in front of goal but who was voted best player of the game, honored her 189th selection in the blue jersey. The Lyon striker thus became the third most capped player in the history of the French team, overtaking Laura Georges.
Le Sommer has Bussaglia and Soubeyrand in the sights
From then on, the 34-year-old striker is only three caps behind Élise Bussaglia and nine behind Sandrine Soubeyrand. A record that she should beat by the end of the year if she is spared from injuries.
As a reminder, Eugénie Le Sommer is already the top scorer in the history of Les Bleues, with a total of 93 goals. She will also have the opportunity on Wednesday evening, against Spain, to win her very first national team trophy.
