French newspaper L’Equipe tend to be notoriously harsh with their player ratings, and it’s reflected in their notes for this clash.

Despite winning 3-1, France have an average team rating of 5.9/10. The French forwards have pretty poor ratings- Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku gets a 4/10- the same as Marcus Thuram, but better than Kolo-Muani (3/10)

At the back, Arsenal’s William Saliba gets a 6/10. His defensive partner was Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate, who was also France’s designated captain for this clash against the Azzurri. Konate got a 7/10. The pick of the backs was Everton’s Lucas Digne, who got a 9/10 from L’Equipe, while Barca’s Jules Kounde was the lowest rated (4/10)
