Here is a look at the player ratings for Belgium v France in the Nations League last night from Brussels. Arsenal’s William Saliba was in the French lineup against Les Diables Rouges, but had a shocker, as shown from these ratings. His Gunners team mate Leandro Trossard in the Belgian starting XI.
Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate started alongside Saliba in defence while Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku came off the bench for Les Bleus.

They thought the Belgian starting XI (5.2/10) did better than Les Bleus’ starters (4.9/10 team rating)
Le Figaro used the adjective “catastrophique” for Saliba’s performance in their headline, and gave him a 3/10 too. However while L’Equipe thought Konate only fared marginally better (4/10), Le Figaro gave the Liverpool defender a 6/10 for his efforts.
