While France coach Didier Deschamps blamed the referee for France’s 2-0 defeat to Spain, midfielder Rayan Cherki sang a different tune after the match saying that the Les Blues lost the match to themselves. The Manchester City player also said that Spain played the way they wanted but France couldn’t which led to the defeat.
“It’s a massive disappointment. Because today we lost to ourselves. We didn’t lose to the referee, we didn’t lose to Spain, we only lost to ourselves. Here, you all know, we all know, we strike fear into everyone. The only team capable of eliminating us was ourselves and that’s what happened today,” Cherki said.
