Didier Deschamps' side will now head into the friendly vs Ukraine with 12 wins in their last 14 outings. The next UEFA Nations League games against Portugal and Croatia are bound to be the priority for Deschamps, however, the French national team coach has named a strong 24-man squad for the game against a much-weakened Ukraine side.

However, Spain ended that streak with a thumping 4-0 win in Madrid in their UEFA Nations League game last month. Following their friendly against France, Ukraine are scheduled to face Germany and have a second meeting with Spain over the next week.
