A praline in the skylight. This Friday, at a press conference, Lucas Digne regretted never having scored with the France team, despite his 50 caps. “No one has bothered me, but it’s true that it wouldn’t hurt to put a little on,” he smiled, savoring despite everything this great accomplishment of half a hundred matches with the Blues.
However, this curse could have ended this Sunday in Italy. We were playing the 33rd minute of the Nations League match when the left back grabbed the ball to take a very well placed free kick from 30m. After a few steps of momentum, Lucas Digne unleashed a superb shot which passed the Italian wall and ended up in Guglielmo Vicario’s net. A sensational goal which will ultimately not be awarded to him.
Because after analyzing the slow motion, it was indeed the Italian goalkeeper who pushed the ball into his own goal. As the ball hit the crossbar, it then hit the back of the Tottenham goalkeeper, before crossing the line. If Lucas Digne therefore celebrated his 50th selection, he will still have to wait before scoring his first goal. He will undoubtedly console himself with the decisive pass delivered from a corner for Adrien Rabiot in the 2nd minute of play.
