William Saliba makes "pressure" admission in Arsenal and France comparison

William Saliba has admitted there is more pressure playing for France in the World Cup than there is for Arsenal.

The 21-year-old made his debut on the biggest stage as a substitute in France's 1-0 defeat against Tunisia on Wednesday evening. He came on in the 63rd minute for Raphael Varane, and with Didier Deschamps' side already losing at that point, Saliba didn't concede when he was on the pitch.

Despite falling a rather disappointing defeat at the Education City Stadium, France still topped Group D ahead of Australia, who finished second, while Tunisia sat in third and Denmark at the bottom. It means France will face Poland in their last 16 clash on Sunday after they finished second in Group C.
