France fall flat ahead of Euro 2024! Substitute Kylian Mbappe can't inspire toothless team in draw with Jesse Marsch's Canada

After a 4-0 thumping at the hands of the Netherlands last time out, Jesse Marsch's Canada tightened up at the back against France, putting in a dogged display on Sunday night. N'Golo Kante and Marcus Thuram went closest for the hosts - who beat Luxembourg 3-0 in midweek - in the first half, with both denied by goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau, while Canada's Liam Millar saw his effort strike the bar shortly after the break. Despite Kylian Mbappe nearly winning it at the death, neither side had the creativity to break the deadlock as the match ended goalless.

Although N'Golo Kante is showing there is plenty of life left in the midfielder at the age of 33, following nearly two years away from the international stage, Alphonso Davies really returned to form for Canada. After a difficult time against the Dutch, the Bayern Munich star largely kept pacy wingers Ousmane Dembele and Kingsley Coman quiet and helped his team pick up a clean sheet.

While nobody had a stinker for Didier Deschamps' men, with the French boss missing out on a 100th win as national team manager, Les Bleus' attack looked somewhat out of ideas at times. It seemed one-dimensional and for all their attacking talent they mustered just four shots on target. That will need to improve for the Euros.

France are next in action for their Euro 2024 opener against Austria on June 17, before locking horns with the Netherlands and Poland on June 21 and 25 respectively. Canada begin their Copa America campaign against Argentina on June 20, followed by matches against Peru and Chile on June 25 and 29 respectively.
