Kylian Mbappe led France to Nations League glory on Sunday after netting the winner which completed a comeback from a goal down to beat Spain 2-1 in Milan.
Mbappe struck with 10 minutes remaining to win the title for world champions France after Karim Benzema had levelled just two minutes after Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain into a 64th-minute lead.
The win will ease some of the pain created by an early exit from Euro 2020 at the hands of Switzerland and highlighted just how powerful France are going forward.
“I really wanted to win a trophy with France, and now it’s done,” said Benzema, who returned the France fold ahead of the Euro, to M6.
“We showed strength of character, because this team is very strong, never gives up and we have proven it today.
“It is the sign of a great team not to panic, to be patient and to wait for the right opportunity.”
Les Bleus came out on top of a match at the San Siro which came to life after Oyarzabal slid home the opener.
As well as the two goals from their superstar attackers, France had other opportunities to score through Mbappe before a frantic finish in which Spain launched an assault on the French goal.
Didier Deschamps can thank Hugo Lloris the match didn’t go into extra-time after the France captain pulled off a fine stoppage time save to deny Yeremi Pino a late leveller.
Earlier Italy took third place after beating Belgium 2-1 in Turin through goals form Nicolo Barella and Domenico Berardi.
