France now head into the second leg of the quarterfinals at a severe disadvantage. Didier Deschamps will have to answer for his decision to start Randal Kolo Muani, who joined Juventus on loan in January after failing to break into a strong Paris Saint-Germain team. The French manager also opted to start Adrien Rabiot over Eduardo Camavinga.

Croatia contained the attacking duo of Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé in a 2-0 victory over France in the first leg of the Nations League quarterfinals Thursday. Ante Budimir headed Croatia ahead in the 26th minute off a cross from Ivan Perišić with France goalkeeper Mike Maignan partially blocking the ball before it crossed the line.
