New Delhi: France had to be saved from relegation as the 2018 World Cup winners were crushed by Denmark in their final 2022 Nations League match.
Goals from Kasper Dolberg and Andreas Skov Olsen doomed France to a 2-0 loss as the French were unable to find the back of the net. In total, France scored just five goals in six group stage games.
With the loss, the 2021 UEFA Nations League champions barely avoided relegation from tournament’s League A. They were saved by Croatia, whose 3-1 win over Austria helped France.
Christian Eriksen was the best player on the pitch as the Manchester United star absolutely tore apart France. He wasn’t credited with a goal or assist, but Eriksen completely controlled play as Denmark were organized, clinical and, ultimately, victorious.
France are one of six teams to have scored zero goals in the first half a 2022 Nations League game amongst England, Slovakia, Liechtenstein, Malta and San Marino.
With their Nations League run complete, France can now look ahead to the World Cup, where they’ll have a chance to get revenge against the Danes. Les Bleus will face Australia, Denmark and Tunisia in the group stage in Qatar.
