The French publication was clearly disappointed with the performance of its own team, despite reaching the final of the 2022 World Cup.
The French edition of L’Equipe presents the symbolic team of the 2022 World Cup. It should be noted that despite the team reaching the final of the tournament, where Deschamps’ wards lost to Argentina only in the penalty shoot-out, the journalists noticed only one player of their own team. The tournament’s top scorer, Kylian Mbappe, was the lucky winner.
At the same time, there were three Moroccan players in the symbolic team at the same time, although the “Atlas Lions” took only fourth place in the tournament.
Symbolic team from L’Equipe:
Goalkeeper: Dominik Livakovic (Croatia / Dinamo Zagreb);
Defenders: Ashraf Hakimi (Morocco/PSG), Romain Saiss (Morocco/Besiktas), Joshko Guardiol (Croatia/RB Leipzig), Marcos Acuna (Argentina/Sevilla);
Midfielders: Enzo Fernandez (Argentina / Benfica), Sofian Amrabat (Morocco / Fiorentina), Luka Modric (Croatia / Real Madrid);
Forwards: Bukayo Saka (England/Arsenal), Lionel Messi (Argentina/PSG), Kylian Mbappé (France/PSG).
Recall that the national team of Argentina won the World Cup for the third time in its history, defeating the French team in the final. The main and extra time of the match ended in a draw 3:3, and in the penalty shootout the South Americans were more successful 4:2.
