After the 2-0 victory against Morocco, the French press highlighted, without great rapture, the team’s return to the World Cup final and the duel against Argentina.
“We’re back”, summarized the French L’Equipe on its online page, with a large photo of Giroud hugging Theo Hernandez, celebrating the first goal.
Then, the vehicle changed the title of the highlight to something a little more playful: “On the road for the third star”.
Le Figaro mentioned the tough confrontation with the Moroccans and the return to the final.
“Victorious over Morocco, France will defend the world title. After an intense struggle with the Moroccans, the current champions qualified for the fourth final in their history, against Messi’s Argentina.”
At Le Monde, the main title reminds of the defeated rival, Morocco. “France puts an end to the adventure of the Lions of the Atlas and qualifies for the final”.
The English Guardian made an almost identical headline, “France ends Morocco’s adventure and reaches the World Cup final”.
In ClarÃn, one of the main newspapers in the land of rival Argentina, the vehicle recalls that France passed, but without enthusiasm. “With more strength than brilliance, France eliminated Morocco and will rival Argentina in the final.”
Normally more effusive, Olé has already summed up the final: “Messi against Mbappé in a gala decision”. “And yes, it will be France. And yes, it will be the current world champion. And yes, it will be Messi x Mbappé. And yes, it will be both teams in search of the same story, the third star of the shield”, says the main report.
