World Cup 2026: Led by Mbappé, France Moves Closer to Qualification

Driven by their superstar Kylian Mbappé, who scored and assisted, the French national team has made a significant step towards qualifying for the 2026 World Cup by convincingly defeating the modest Azerbaijan team 3-0 on Friday at the Parc des Princes.

The last time the Blues faced the Azeris, they had an absolute rout in Auxerre, winning 10-0 on September 6, 1995. This time, Didier Deschamps's men were more economical in their efforts, but that hardly matters as they secured the victory.
