It’s so exciting to see six Serie A players advancing to the World Cup semi-finals.   Four of them are part of the French National team, while two represent Argentina.  Of course, we’ll be keeping an eye on how they perform and wish them all the luck. Regardless of the outcome, we congratulate them for reaching this far.

🇫🇷   The French squad includes AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and midfielder Adrien Rabiot, along with AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone and Inter forward Marcus Thuram.
