France beat Paraguay 1-0 on Saturday in the World Cup last 16 to reach the quarter-finals. As they celebrated with supporters, Rayan Cherki’s headwear drew the eye.
The Manchester City player appeared in a bicorne, worn at a tilt, a nod to Napoleon. L'Équipe noted he wore it on the pitch after the final whistle.
Amid the huddle of team-mates on the turf, his look stood out.
Whether it was a wink to a conquering mindset after a relentless contest was left unsaid.
In the mixed zone, Cherki reflected that anyone keen to go to war against France should expect them to be ready to go to war too.
