France/Spain – France player ratings after the semi-final hammering | OneFootball

As part of the 2026 World Cup semi-finals, the French national team was at Dallas Stadium this Tuesday to face Spain. A match involving 6 Paris Saint-Germain players. 5 on the French side: Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé. 1 on the Spanish side: Fabian Ruiz. After the 0-2 defeat (France/Spain video highlights), here are our ratings for Les Bleus, who were completely outclassed.

Goalkeepers:

Mike Maignan (4) – He cannot really be blamed for the goals, but he also did not make any saves and his distribution was not very reassuring.

Defenders:

Jules Koundé (4) – Defensively fairly solid, but he was unable to make an impact going forward.

Dayot Upamecano (6.5) – Thankfully, he remains as strong as ever in covering and playing out from the back, even if he had a small mistake in the second half.

Maxence Lacroix (5) – It was difficult to come on after William Saliba’s injury, but he did okay.

Lucas Digne (2) – The full-back struggled a lot defensively and lacked attacking impact. Above all, he was at fault for the penalty that led to the opening goal. Replaced in the 71st minute by Théo Hernandez.

Midfielders:

Adrien Rabiot (5) – Some good interceptions, some good passes, but also some struggles. As shown by his deserved yellow card and a red that was not far off. Replaced in the 45th minute by Manu Koné (5). The latter made a fairly good impact off the bench, without changing the match.

Adrien Tchouaméni (3) – A very difficult match for the midfielder, both with and without the ball.

Michael Olise (3) – A few superb flicks, but ultimately very little impact on the match. Both offensively and defensively. Replaced by Rayan Cherki in the 72nd minute.

Forwards:

Bradley Barcola (3) – He did not offer much before going off in the 56th minute for Désiré Doué.

Ousmane Dembélé (4) – A few interesting bursts forward, but more was expected and far more was needed in this match. Just like from the whole team.

Kylian Mbappé (4) – A clearly insufficient performance, reflecting the French national team as a whole.
