Press review: France v Spain, and Lucas Digne heading back to PSG | OneFootball

This Tuesday, July 14, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the likely transfer of Lucas Digne, the 32-year-old left-back (33 on July 20) from Aston Villa and the French national team, even though he already played for Paris from 2013 to 2016. Of course, the spotlight is mainly on tonight’s World Cup semi-final between France and Spain at 9 p.m.

Digne returning to PSG was something no one was thinking about on Monday morning. And then everything suddenly sped up in the rumors. Obviously, the Parisian club did not act on a whim. It managed to move behind the scenes to strengthen the left side of its defense with an experienced player, attached to PSG and ready to begin competing with Nuno Mendes (24) as the number 2 option. It is not done yet, but the media agree that it is almost completed.

As for the World Cup semi-final, it is logically a major clash that is eagerly awaited. France has strong arguments to reach the final, but it must also be kept in mind that the same is true for Spain. This is the highest world level; nothing will come easy. But we should get a spectacle, if the pressure and fear of elimination do not take over. We hope to enjoy a great evening of football, with Les Bleus qualifying at the end.
