Azerbaijan v France: France player ratings, more than just points | OneFootball

As part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the French Team was at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium this Sunday to face Azerbaijan and managed to win 1-3 (video summary Azerbaijan/France). A match that involved 4 players from Paris Saint-Germain, all French: Lucas Chevalier, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Bradley Barcola. Here are the ratings of the Bleus in the press.

Le Parisien:

Mateta (6)

Ekitike (4) – Nkunku (5.5) – Akliouche (7)

Thuram (6) – Zaïre-Emery (6.5)

T. Hernandez (6) – L. Hernandez (5) – Konaté (5) – Gusto (7)

Chevalier (4.5)

L’Equipe:

Mateta (6)

Ekitike (4) – Nkunku (6) – Akliouche (7)

Thuram (7) – Zaïre-Emery (7)

T. Hernandez (5) – L. Hernandez (4) – Konaté (4) – Gusto (7)

Chevalier (4)

Unsurprisingly, the average rating is not very high for this victory in Azerbaijan, which is neither uninteresting nor brilliant. Some players managed to stand out positively, such as Zaïre-Emery, Thuram, Gusto, or Akliouche. While others, including Lucas Hernandez, Chevalier, or Ekitike, did not really score points. Even though the latter was not helped by being repositioned to the left.

It remains to be seen the possible consequences for future lists, with a match that had no real sporting stakes and in a complete rotation lacking automatisms.
