Didier Deschamps was given a reminder of France’s strength in depth, moments after his side booked their place in the World Cup final.
Goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani ensured the reigning world champions will take on Argentina in a blockbuster final in Qatar. Les Bleus were made to work for their 2-0 victory however, with Morocco ensuring they weren’t able to enjoy the same kind of second-half cruise Lionel Messi and Co. enjoyed on Tuesday night.
In fact, until Muani came off the bench to score France’s second goal with just over 10 minutes remaining, Morocco were firmly in the tie. Deschamps’ decision to bring Muani on for Ousmane Dembele was a contentious one, leaving the richly talented Kingsley Coman on the bench.
