Posted while the Blues are on their way back from Qatar, the news is accompanied by a photo of him looking dejected and wearing the top scorer’s trophy for his eight goals scored during the tournament, as well as the French flag and folded hands emoji.
Visibly very disappointed, the PSG player after the game on the pitch had nothing to do with the President of the Republic’s attempts to comfort him with a hug.
“Waking up is difficult,” the French team’s Twitter account summarized, urging fans to send them “messages of support.”
Striker Marcus Thuram sent him a heartbroken message accompanied by a picture of him looking sadly at the trophy he won’t be bringing back to France.
The French team players are on their way back and should land in Roissy around 18:00. But there will be no rally in Paris, said Noël Le Graët, the president of the French federation (FFF), on BFMTV. “If we don’t win, we don’t feel like walking on the Champs or anywhere else,” added the league leaders.
