No French player got above 3- Saliba was one of a few with that rating.
Marca player ratings Spain 2 France 1 Euro semifinal
On to Spanish newspaper Marca, and Saliba was among a handful of French players who got 2 stars. Rodri and Cucurella also got 2 stars. The only players to get 3 were Laporte and Yamal.
Diario AS player ratings Spain-France 2-1
In comparison to Marca, AS were a little more generous with their 3 stars for the Spanish players, hut they also thought Hernandez and Tchouameni weren’t even worthy of a rating.
Nice Matin French player ratings v Espana Euro
Saliba again received the joint highest rating for French players here in the Nice Matin paper- he got a 6.
The paper was very unhappy with coach Didier Deschamps, giving him a manager rating of 3/10.
France midfield was quite poor in comparison to Spain’s from a creative POV.
Most of their decent attacks came down the right flank with Kounde (not a natural RB mind you) doing a big chunk of the work.
