France and Croatia played the second leg of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, March 23, at the Stade de France. A humorous incident occurred in the stands.
Details: Several times during the game, cameras caught a man who bore an uncanny resemblance to Fabien Barthez. He was dressed in an old French national team goalkeeper kit, gloves, and dark sunglasses. And thanks to his bald head, the resemblance to the legendary "Les Bleus" goalkeeper was even more striking.
By the way, France managed to bounce back from a 0-2 defeat in the first match and advance to the next round of the UEFA Nations League, winning in a penalty shootout.
It should be noted that in Europe, the teams that will compete in the UEFA Nations League Final Four 2024/2025 have been determined. This season's playoffs began with the quarter-finals. The teams that fell short in this stage of the tournament were Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Croatia.
Reminder: The UEFA Nations League Final Four 2025 will take place in Germany from June 4 to 8. The host of the decisive stage was determined in a showdown between Germany and Italy: the winner earned the right to organize the semi-finals, the third-place match, and the final.
