Even without Mbappe, they impressed by destroying Italy 3-1, the victory returned them to winning ways after previously failing to win full points against israel,the victory over Italy led France to currently top the Uefa national A group 2 standings with 13 points.
Italy is not a weak team. A few days ago, Italy was able to win against Belgium. There is no doubt that Italy's players were able to perform quite well in today's match. However, Italy lost 3-1 against France. Italy lost this match because of some of their mistakes. The defenders could not perform well. Also, Italy conceded the second goal of the match due to a small mistake by goalkeeper Vicario.
Mbappe was not with the squad. Even then, France's performance was quite organized. Rabiot performed brilliantly in this match. Rabiot scored both goals in the match. And Lucas Digne made two assists.
In recent years, Belgium has experienced a significant decline in performance, so I think it looks like the golden era of Belgium is starting to come to an end at this time, and the defeat to Israel was obviously very embarrassing for them
To be honest, I am very disappointed with Belgium's performance. A few days ago, Belgium lost against Italy. Today, Belgium also lost against Israel. However, Belgium's performance may have declined because many players in the squad were injured. De Bruyne, Onana, Lukaku, DOku and Fofana were out of the squad for this match.
