France have never been so much stronger than Italy in football as they are today. Even without the injured Kylian Mbappe, Zinedine Zidane’s side is an overwhelming favourite against Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri. Olise, Dembele and Doue, with Barcola waiting on the bench, represent a quartet of attacking aces rarely seen in international football. They are so formidable that even the absence of France’s best player, Mbappe, is not considered a problem. There is another detail that challenges the conventional wisdom about the quality of football in Serie A. No fewer than seven players from the Italian league are part of Zidane’s France squad, ranging from starters such as goalkeeper Maignan and midfielders Rabiot and Kone to substitutes Diouf, Kalulu and Como’s duo of goalkeeper Butez and Da Cunha.##TWITTER_

The major scandal surrounding the Portugal national team has overshadowed everything good the Portuguese have achieved in their previous three matches. So much so that even their opponents are adding fuel to the fire. Rasmus Hojlund was at the centre of attention last night. The Danish striker scored the equalizer in the 53rd minute before celebrating with his trademark jump and outstretched arms, accompanied by the inevitable “Siuuu”, just like Cristiano Ronaldo. An even more controversial incident occurred at the end of the match.##TWITTER_

Portugal are returning home with their pockets full after a four-day tour of northern Europe, having plundered Copenhagen following their triumph in Oslo. They certainly had to struggle, and at times they were even bleeding, but despite everything, they demonstrated efficient football in northern Europe and maintained their 100% record after three rounds of the Nations League group stage. More importantly, they showed that they can function perfectly well without their greatest legend, putting four goals past Denmark in a 4-2 victory (2-1). The build-up to the match at Parken was dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to leave the Portugal camp, apparently offended after spending the entire match against Denmark on the bench — his first competitive international appearance as a substitute since Euro 2008.##TWITTER_
