The France team had to win on Friday evening against the Netherlands to validate its ticket for Euro 2024, which will take place in Germany next summer (June 14 – July 14). And the Blues returned from Amsterdam with the feeling of duty accomplished, thanks to a success (2-1), designed by Kylian Mbappé. The Paris Saint-Germain striker, author of two goals, has once again gained a place in the ranking of the best French directors in history.
With now 42 goals for the selection, the Bondynois has overtaken Michel Platini in as many appearances with the tricolor jersey (72). A Platini who, on November 18, 1981, scored what remains today one of the most important goals in the history of French football. In this qualifying match for the 1982 World Cup, against the finalist of the two previous editions, the playmaker broke the deadlock with a curled free kick at the edge of the area at the start of the second half.

With this double, the Parisian is only two goals from Antoine Griezmann (44), nine from Thierry Henry (51) and twelve from Olivier Giroud (54). At only 24 years old, he will undoubtedly have many opportunities, in turn, to inspire flights of fancy from the commentators of the Blues matches.
