Emmanuel Macron will be well surrounded on Sunday during the World Cup final between France and Argentina.

The President of the Republic will be able to count on his wife Brigitte, already, who had not made the trip for the semi-final and who this time will be there, indicates

Le Parisien

this Saturday.

Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera will also be there.

On the sports side, Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kanté and Presnel Kimpembe responded favorably to the invitation.

The first has therefore managed to convince his club Juventus, reluctant to see him leave while he is in the rehabilitation phase.

Christopher Nkunku could accompany them, just like Teddy Riner or Brahim Asloum among the glorious retirees.

DD boot in touch concerning Benzema

On the other hand, Laurent Blanc, Michel Platini and Karim Benzema, all three guests, declined.

Europe 1 assured Friday that Platini did not want to meet the members of Fifa, responsible according to him for his legal torments.

As for Benzema, he published very enigmatic messages on his networks on Friday, in particular a "I'm not interested" that everyone will take as they wish.

Asked about the case of Madrid this Saturday, coach Didier Deschamps kicked in touch: “If I do not answer, you will say that I am angry so I will clarify a little.

There were injured players before the competition, Karim is one of them.

Since that moment, I have 24 players to manage.

Asking that question is awkward at best for them.

I don't deal with invitations from injured players or ex-players.

Some will be there, some won't, I don't know.
