RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano made his France senior debut in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Sweden in a Uefa Nations League A Group 3 clash.
Although he represented Les Bleus at U16, U17, U18, U19, and U21 levels, the centre-back was tipped to represent Guinea-Bissau at the senior level.
However, that ambition has faded into thin air having played against the Blue and Yellow with Kylian Mbappe’s first-half strike settling the encounter at Solna’s Friends Arena, while Barcelona’s Antoine Griezmann missed a last-minute penalty.
The Paris Saint-Germain star beat goalkeeper Robin Olsen from a very tight angle after dancing through the right side of the Swedish backline.
