By the Numbers
Didier Deschamps is taking charge of his final match as head of the France national team. France, who will take to the field against England in the third-place match, will see their manager Deschamps make changes to the squad. However, it has been confirmed that Kylian Mbappe, one of the tournament's star players, will be in the starting eleven to continue his pursuit of the Golden Shoe.
Although Mbappe currently shares the same goal tally as Lionel Messi with eight goals, he trails him because Messi has one more assist. Since the goals scored in the third-place match will also count towards the Golden Shoe standings, Mbappe keeps his chances of clinching this award alive.
Deschamps, who captained France to the World Cup championship in 1998 and has served as manager since 2012, stated that the national team represents the most beautiful page of his career. French defender Ibrahima Konate expressed that they are experiencing the sorrow of not reaching the final, but they will take to the field at 100% in this match as well, out of respect for their jersey and their country.
