The French showed a "style Barça" that seems leaves clear that the technical office has not made a mistake when buying it. Always anticipating to all the played and again deploying a good aerial game, the central was of the best of France beside Sissoko. The so much final did not originate in his zone but the defender treated to arrive to cover to all haste the shot, although the distance between both was insalvable.

Cruel final for an Umtiti that has gone of less to more in the three meetings that has been headline with the French selection. Although they see him big ways and qualities, to the central now does not remain him another that evolve and adapt to the FC Barcelona. There it will be able to go back to have the opportunity to be champion.
