March 26th was the last day of the FIFA international break, during which the national teams played the final matchday leading up to their respective continental competitions in June.

In the case of the French team, they hosted Chile at the Velodrome, aiming for a preparatory match ahead of the Euro Cup, where they managed to secure a 3-2 victory thanks to Randal Kolo Muani's outstanding performance.

In the first half, the Chilean team took the lead with Marcelino Nuñez's goal, but France quickly turned the match around with goals from Youssouf Fofana in the 18th minute and Randal Kolo Muani in the 25th minute.

In the second half, France extended their lead with a great assist from Kolo Muani to Olivier Giroud. However, in the 82nd minute, Dario Osorio scored a goal for the Chileans, ending the match with a 3-2 scoreline.

The importance of Randal Kolo Muani for the French national team

Randal Kolo Muani stood out more than ever in this match with the French national team. The Paris Saint-Germain player played 83 minutes in the match against Chile, where he was the standout player thanks to his involvement in both France's second goal and the assist to Olivier Giroud for the third goal in the French victory.

Kolo Muani's return to Paris reveals a significant boost heading into the final stretch of the season for PSG, where he will have increased morale after his outstanding performance with the French national team, but above all, the importance of the goal he scored at the Velodrome. Next Sunday, March 30th, he will visit Olympique de Marseille for the Ligue 1.

The performances of the Paris Saint-Germain players in this FIFA date are of utmost importance heading into the final stretch of the season.

While the French Cup, Ligue 1, and the UEFA Champions League continue to be contested at the highest competitive level, the need for the Parisian club to have its entire squad performing at their best is crucial, and this FIFA date helped showcase the great players that PSG possesses.
