In France’s last pre-Euro 2024 warmup match, they were frustratingly held to a scoreless draw against Canada.

Despite not participating in Saturday’s training session because of a slight back issue, Kylian Mbappe made an appearance for Les Bleus in the 74th minute.

Didier Deschamps will get a huge boost from Mbappe’s participation, even though his absence was anticipated.Deschamps thinks France can take some good things away from the game despite the outcome.

Despite facing more tough conditions towards the conclusion of the first half, Deschamps said TF1: “We had good adversity with intensity, we had some good chances in the first half, especially in the first half hour.”It was critical to spread out playing time over these two practice matches, so we gave it our all in second place—even though it wasn’t ideal with all the alterations made. Other teams who will be competing in the Euro have also had challenging friendlies. To be ready for Germany, we will utilize this match as a practice.

Maxime Crepeau, the goalie for Canada, saved attempts from N’Golo Kante and Marcus Thuram in the first half.

With 57 goals, the 37-year-old Giroud is the all-time leading scorer for France. The crowd in Bordeaux gave him a standing ovation.

Poland, the Netherlands, and Austria make up Group D for Euro 2024, where France will be competing.

With Mbappe on the scoresheet, Deschamps’ squad defeated Luxembourg 3-0 in their last friendly.
