Two Gunners went head-to-head for a spot in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, and it was William Saliba who was left celebrating after France beat Leandro Trossard’s Belgium 1-0.

Our defender once again started for Les Bleus and played the full 90 minutes for the fourth game in succession in Germany, which was settled thanks to a Jan Vertonghen own goal five minutes from time.

Leandro had been dropped to the bench for the game, where he remained throughout despite his side struggling in front of goal in a tight affair with few chances for either side. That means his involvement at these finals is over, having played 171 minutes for the Red Devils during the group stage.
