The French national team faces Italy this Friday at 8:45 PM CET. The match will take place at the Stade de France as part of the Nations League. Three Paris Saint-Germain players—all French—are involved: Désiré Doué, Maghnes Akliouche, and Ousmane Dembélé. Find broadcast details for the France vs. Italy match here.
France has made a strong start to the competition—at least in terms of results—with victories over Turkey (0-1) and Belgium (0-1). The goal is, of course, to solidify their hold on first place against an Italian side that currently has 3 points. After a 2-0 loss to Belgium and a 4-1 win in Turkey, the Italians have regained some confidence and will be looking to catch up with Les Bleus.
An intense match is expected, and hopefully, it will be a spectacular one too. Both teams are still finding their rhythm early in the season, and with players not yet at peak fitness, expectations should be tempered. In any case, we hope our Parisian players can help France with strong performances.
