C'est magnifique! Lloris earns 100th France cap

Hugo Lloris made his 100th appearance for France in their World Cup clash against Peru on Thursday.

The France captain became the seventh player to reach the landmark, joining company that includes national coach Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane.

Lillian Thuram is the all-time leader in France caps with 142, with Thierry Henry second with 123.

Lloris – who made his debut in 2008 – captained Les Bleus for their 2016 European Championship campaign on home soil, where they were defeated in the final by Portugal, and has played at three World Cups.

France defeated Australia 2-1 in their opening match at the 2018 World Cup and will seal their place in the round of 16 if they beat Peru in Ekaterinburg on Thursday.
