Thauvin makes explosive return for France 💣

Like in a dream!

Back with Les Bleus after six years away (a record gap between two call-ups, not selected for 77 matches), Florian Thauvin made a successful return to the French team.

Coming on in the 82nd minute in place of the injured Mbappé, the Lens striker scored with one of his first touches just two minutes later.

A goal full of finesse, the former OM player scoring in two stages—first controlling the ball, then finishing with an acrobatic overhead kick—right on the penalty spot.

With his second goal for the national team, he helped Les Bleus pull away (3-0) and secure a victory that only took shape after halftime.
