France Prepares for Decisive UEFA Nations League Clash Against Croatia

After a 2-0 first-leg defeat, the French team must overcome a two-goal deficit at the Stade de France to secure a spot in the Final Four.

  • The French team faces Croatia in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals on March 23, needing to win by at least two goals to advance.
  • Coach Didier Deschamps has made significant lineup changes, including Adrien Rabiot's absence due to injury and a likely return to a 4-3-3 formation.
  • Captain Kylian Mbappé is expected to lead the team’s effort to rally in front of 80,000 spectators at the Stade de France.
  • Croatia, led by veteran Luka Modric, presents a formidable challenge with their disciplined and experienced lineup.
  • France's performance will be closely watched, with parallels drawn to their historic 2013 comeback against Ukraine, though the stakes are lower this time.
