France beat Spain at the San Siro to win their second Nations League title after Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbabane canceled out Michael O’Reilly’s opening goal.

France’s Kylian Mbabane was the hero on Sunday, defeating Spain in the second Nations League final at the San Siro on Sunday.

Michael O’Reilly scored for Luis Enrique and company in minute 64′.

As extra time began to turn into a real opportunity, Mbappé worked his magic to nab the winner.

Manchester United defender Rafael Varane has been ruled out of the game with a hamstring injury after a random first half.

Here are five points that speak from San Siro.

1. Spain Awareness Call

Although one of the two countries’ previous 35 meetings ended 0-0, it seemed to go that way after the first slow hour.

But Paul Pogba launched a counterattack after midfielder Aurelian Tsuvamani’s fine effort to escape the Spanish press, snapping the France striker and hitting the crossbar through left-back Theo Hernandez, his run for AC Milan on the famous pitch. .

Seconds later, Luis Enrique’s men responded well and went home, and Michael O’Reilly went home after being touched by Sergio Busquets.

However, his presence does not last long.

2. Hate brillante

At the end of the Spanish celebration, Karim Benzema scored the majestic equalizer for France.

The Real Madrid talisman, who has scored 10 goals in 10 appearances for the La Liga legends, passed La Rose goalkeeper Uni Simon with the ball down the left following Chelsea defender Caesar Asbilicuta after a pass from Kyle Mbabane and a lack.

The man who hadn’t been featured by his country for seven years was their strongest player in a disappointing Euro 2020 campaign, and Didier Deschamps’ side resurfaced when needed.

3. Mbappé corrects

Since that European Championship campaign, most of the conversation has revolved around Kylian Mbabane.

The 22-year-old missed a decisive penalty in penalty shootout number 16 against Switzerland when Les Blues were shocked to be sent off after a highly handicapped team show.

But the Paris Saint-Germain superstar proved his worth once again by proving he was the winner in the 80th minute, despite appearing offside in a brilliant finish built after a rough step out of Asbiliqueta.

He recently spoke about returning internationally “after feeling a problem,” but his critics will remain silent tonight.

4. Varane Man Utd adds misery

Half the time, Rafael Varane was sent off because it looked like he had a muscle strain.

Manchester United already have captain Harry Maguire in the treatment room, and he may now be joined by his ally in the center, Varane.

The 28-year-old France had little to do in his 42 minutes on the pitch in the three-man midfield, but found it painful and was replaced by Bayern Munich defender Toyot Ubamegano.

The Red Devils travel to Leicester next Saturday in the hope that their summer signing will heal in time.

5. Pocket Pokpa

There aren’t many better players to watch on his day than United’s number 6, but he couldn’t spray his magic on the match.

Able to command the game due to his supreme technical prowess and bodily poised presence, the former Juventus star was hopeful of once again putting on a show in Italy. His eye off the ball saw Benzema beyond the Spanish baseline. In the sixth minute, even if Simon had shut down the striker early, he would have been ruled offside had he scored.

But the midfielder kept quiet during the first half and began to cut the frustrated figure down in the second half when referee Anthony Taylor booked him to block the bussets.
