It had been almost three years since the Blues had played at the Stade de France in front of full stands. This Friday (8:45 p.m.), the France team faces Denmark to defend its League of Nations title. And for the occasion, nearly 80,000 spectators including 1,400 Danes are expected. A classic type of evening to which the French Football Federation is accustomed and which should not experience the hiccups that generated the chaos last Saturday during the Champions League final.
On the lawn, eyes will be on the duo Benzema – Mbappé who should be aligned. Karim Benzema has just returned to collective training after his victory in the Champions League with Real Madrid. In terms of statistics, advantage to the French since during the 17 confrontations with Denmark, the Blues have won 8 times, against 6 for the Danes and two draws.
This match is very important for Didier Deschamps and his Danish counterpart Kasper Hjulmand since they will provide valuable first lessons. The two teams will meet in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar on November 26 at 974 Stadium in Doha. Bereaved, Didier Deschamps is not present on the bench and replaced by his assistant Guy Stéphan.
