In a crucial friendly ahead of the UEFA Euro, France will face Luxembourg in Metz on Wednesday evening, a game that not only serves as a final test for Didier Deschamps' star-studded squad, but also rekindles memories of Luxembourg's historic 2017 draw against the French team.
At 9pm on Wednesday evening, the Luxembourg national team will play a friendly in Metz against France. For the French team, this match is an important final stress test ahead of the European Football championship (UEFA), which commences on 14 June. Coach Didier Deschamps' team is among the favourites to win the prestigious continental trophy.
The last match played between Luxembourg and France dates back to 2017. At the time, the Red Lions sensationally played 0:0 in Toulouse, an unexpected draw now considered one of the biggest achievements in the history of the Luxembourg Football Federation (FLF).
While the French team is expected to feature numerous stars, including Real Madrid's latest acquisition Kylian Mbappé, the Luxembourg team reports several notable absences, for instance Leandro Barreiro, Vincent Thill, and Mica Pinto.
On Saturday, Luxembourg will play another friendly, this time against Belgium in Brussels.
