The French team was rather well off by inheriting Croatia, in clear decline, as an opponent in the quarter-finals of the League of Nations after the draw carried out on Friday in Nyon (Switzerland) at the headquarters of the UEFA. Didier Deschamps’ troops, who finished at the top of their group after their great success in Italy on Sunday (3-1), can be relieved after avoiding the Netherlands, semi-finalists of Euro 2024, or Denmark , a country that hasn’t been too successful for them lately. With Croatia, the Blues will come up against a team in decline after its two exploits during the 2018 (final) and 2022 (semi-final) World Cups, even if the Tricolores remain in a defeat against the checkered selection ( 1-0, June 13, 2022 in the Nations League).
