Les Bleuets like their elders: freewheeling.

The France Espoirs team has largely won (5-0) against Liechtenstein, Thursday in Strasbourg, in a qualifying match for Euro 2021. This sixth success in the race for the European U21 Championship allows Les Bleuets to temporarily join the Swiss, who travel to Georgia on Friday, at the top of the standings.

Beaten (3-1) by Switzerland in November 2019, the French Hopes are still running behind the Swiss neighbor but also consolidating their second place for qualification.

With 18 points, Sylvain Ripoll's men are the best second out of the nine groups among which the five best second will qualify for the finals in Hungary and Slovenia.

Positioned in 5-4-1, Liechtenstein, last in the pool, did not weigh heavily against the Bleuets, even deprived of their top scorer Odsonne Edouard (9) tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday.

Gouiri (7th, 30th), Ikoné (9th), Marxer (csc 42nd) and Faivre (51st) scored for the Blues at the Meinau stadium.
