Dominated by Germany, France's U23 team lost 3-0 in the semi-finals of the UEFA European Championship. Although the dream of a title may have been extinguished, Gérald Baticle's charges can take satisfaction in having reached the last four of the competition, their best result at a Euro since 2019.
Djaoui Cissé was called up to replace Hugo Ekitike and Enzo Millot, and quickly established himself as one of the revelations of the tournament. Initially a substitute, the Red and Black midfielder distinguished himself against Poland, with two superb goals and an assist, earning his place in the French starting 11. Once again decisive against Denmark in the quarter-finals, Djaoui will have been crowned player of the match twice in this competition.
