Four games, three goals scored and only two points on the account – that is the meager yield of the French national team in the current edition of the Nations League. And the appearance on Monday evening in the Stade de France once morest Croatia also fits into this picture. Despite the chances, the Équipe Tricolore lost 0:1 at home. The French keep the red lantern in Group 1.

Captain Luka Modric scored the decisive goal for Croatia in the 5th minute with a foul penalty. In the second leg, the Croatians managed to get revenge for the lost 2018 World Cup final. The first leg in the Nations League a week ago had ended 1-1.
