France face Ukraine in Paris on Thursday in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Kylian Mbappé’s side will secure their spot in the tournament with a victory. The match will take place in a significant context, on the tenth anniversary of the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks in the French capital.
Meanwhile, PSG continue to struggle in the Women’s Champions League. The French side lost 2-1 to Manchester United, marking their third defeat in three league matches.
And in tennis, Jannik Sinner secured a place in the ATP Finals last four after his victory over Alexander Zverev.
