Two days ago, the Luxembourg national team added their fifth point to their account - the same amount that Lithuania currently has. However, this forced the footballers of the small state to shine, as they reached a draw with the European vice-champions, the French.
The outcome of the match in Tulūzė caused amazement for many, but the leader of the hosts, Antoine Griezmann, was impressed by the opponents' fight on the field.
According to him, the Luxembourg footballers reminded him of the team he represents, Atlético Madrid.
"We have no excuses," - Griezmann told Canal+. "We played against 11 soldiers."
"It was nice for me to see because they reminded me a bit of Atlético Madrid, my club, so I enjoyed their game."
Just a few days ago, the French scored four goals against the Netherlands, but the Luxembourg team's defense did not break. Indeed, Didier Deschamps's pupils still hold the top spot in Group A, although their lead over Sweden has dwindled to just one point.
