Like two years ago, the Route des Bleuets ends at the quarter-final stage of the Euro Espoirs. Opposed to Ukraine, Sylvain Ripoll’s men led 1 goal to 0 before taking a blow to the head, without ever having been able to get up following returning from the locker room (1-3). The Ukrainians, in full success, like the winning return of Mykhaylo Mudryk, will face Spain in the semi-finals, an opponent with whom they shared the points in the group stage (2-2). This victory also allows them to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
We had felt a rise in power for the Blueberries during Euro 2023, started with a narrow success once morest Italy but chained with a clear round in the group stage. The fall is all the more brutal. From the second minute of the match once morest Ukraine, Sylvain Ripoll demanded rhythm from his men. The message was heard and France dominated until the break. Except that the scoreboard showed indeed 2-1 in favor of Ukraine before moving on to the second act.

YESTERDAY AT 9:33 PM
Ukraine has turned the tide
The Blueberries had however put themselves in excellent dispositions by opening the scoring following a very good action, a mixture of talent, creativity and collective ease. On a ball well slipped by Bradley Barcola, Rayan Cherki made his technique speak for an unstoppable sequence from the left (1-0, 19th). Ukraine had been very harmless until then, except when Mykhaylo Mudryk had the ball. Precisely, the Chelsea nugget set in motion to obtain a penalty, transformed by Heorhiy Sudakov (1-1, 32nd).
A few minutes later, Mudryk was talked regarding once more by sending a long ball to Sudakov, forgotten by the defense and who was then in an armchair to adjust Lucas Chevalier (1-2, 44th). As you will have understood, Ukraine has shown maximum success. Quite the opposite of the Bleuets, for example poorly paid on a well-rolled strike by Barcola having hit the post (38th).
There was still a full half-time left for France to sound the revolt. It did not take place. Stunned by this reversal of the situation, the Bleuets lost the thread of the match and the pretty movements gave way to futile individual actions. They failed to pack the game either due to the many whistles, which made the business of the Ukrainians. Which still wanted to bend the case thanks to Artem Bondarenko (1-3, 86th), a few minutes following a goal refused to the Bleuets for an offside position (81st). A bitter end to Euro 2023 for the France Espoirs team, which has been chasing a title in this competition since 1988.
