They’re one of the most popular commentary duos on TV right now. A bit like Thierry Roland and Jean-Michel Larqué in the 90s and 2000s, Bixente Lizarazu and Gregoire Margotton are responsible for bringing the matches of the French team to life when they are broadcast on TF1. A prestigious position that the two 52-year-old men have occupied for several years now and their complicity is well established. Together, they covered the biggest matches of the Blues of Didier Deschamps and in particular the famous final of the World Cup in 2018.
If on the professional level everything is going wonderfully between the two men, it is also the case in the private sector. It is also the companion of Claire Keim who spilled the beans when Grégoire Margotton became a dad for the fifth time. A friendship that often goes through chambering with Bixente Lizarazu, well known for his many traits of humor and who struck again a few hours ago. As Euro 2022 is fast approaching for the French women’s team, the journalist was granted the cover of TV Magazine alongside the captain of the Blue, Wendie Renard.
Lizarazu clashes Margotton on her height!
In the photo, Grégoire Margotton stands behind the footballer, almost a head above her. A posture that made Bixente Lizarazu laugh on Twitter. “Hello Mr Grégoire Margotton, I would like to understand: Wendie Renard is 1.87m and you are 1.69m so you’re on her back there? You are his backpack”, launches Zinedine Zidane’s great friend by adding laughing smileys. A little joke that made his partner laugh, who responded with great kindness, but without forgetting the small tackle for the father of two children. “1m70, it’s you 1m69… and being the backpack of a huge champion, that’s class”replies the presenter of Telefoot.
