Discover the notes of the special correspondent of Figaro in Marseille after the victory of the France team against Chile (3-2).

Special envoy to Marseille

Mike Maignan (4): we have known the Blues goalkeeper to be more serene and solid. He takes too long to relax on the Chilean opener from Nunez (5e), same on 2e Chilean goal at the end of the match (82e). A little more reassuring afterwards, without being enormously put in danger. Beaten but saved by his post on the head of Sanchez (51e).

Jonathan Clauss (not rated): the most acclaimed blue in the applause meter, the Marseillais finally experienced a nightmarish evening with a tear in the ischios of the left thigh from the 11e minute of play. With his head in his hands, he had to see the damage and face the facts, he whose participation in the Classic against PSG on Sunday is very uncertain… Replaced by Jules Koundé (5)who had difficulty at the start with approximate controls, before gradually coming out of his shell with good shifts for Kolo Muani or this cross for Giroud (49e). Nothing fabulous either.
