00:00 (French) France midfielder Youssouf Fofana (about rivalry against England)
“It’s a geographic rivalry. We are neighbours. We are quite close in terms of culture, etc. Apart from that, they’re a great team. They have incredible individuals. We saw what they achieved on home soil in the Euros. We see them constantly, constantly improving, so it’s going to be a great match to play.”

“It’s all in his honour if he knows how to stop Kylian. Meanwhile, there are 19 other teams in Ligue 1 who are waiting for a solution and others in the Champions League. The truth will be revealed on the pitch and then we’ll see. But personally, as a Frenchman, we all have confidence in Kylian.”
