Didier Deschamps, arbitration scandal exposed!
Ten years after the Euro 2016 final between the France team and Portugal, Didier Deschamps makes a surprising revelation.
A page will be turned in the French team. After fourteen years in office, Didier Deschamps has decided to leave his position as coach. Before the 2026 World Cup (from June 11 to July 19), and while the Blues began their preparation during a friendly match against Ivory Coast on Thursday evening in Nantes, “DD” takes stock in an interview given to West France.
The opportunity for him to look back on his biggest disappointments.
“Which final leaves the most regrets between (Euro) 2016 and (World Cup) 2022? I don’t like to talk about regrets, but about very strong disappointments. 2016 in France (against Portugal), it hurts, because we hadn’t won a title since 2000. Fortunately, many players experienced 2018 afterwards »he explains.

“The one in Doha (against Argentina) also hurts a lot, because being world champion is the strongest thing. With hindsight, the two finals are painful because they go the wrong way for not much”continues the Basque technician who, with hindsight, can really be wrong about the outcome of France-Portugal ten years ago (0-1, ap), at the Stade de France.
“I even learned during a FIFA meeting that Portugal’s goal (scored in extra time by Eder, editor’s note) would have been refused if there had been VAR, for a foul at the start of the actionhe reveals. That doesn’t call the story into question. If I have to single out one, I would say 2022, because it is a missed opportunity on a global scale. » Four years later, the Blues can make up for it.
