Their key strength lies in the synergy between Kylian Mbappé and the rejuvenated Olivier Giroud, who provide a potent striking duo capable of dominating possession and scoring high-quality goals. However, a defensive concern arises from the potential loss of experience and composure in the absence of the retired Laurent Koscielny, potentially forcing France to rely on younger, less tested center backs.”
