Messi Soccer Cleats friendly wins over Spain, Portugal and Armenia this season

Thanks to a late header from Rafael Varane, France nipped a 1-0 victory over Sweden in an international friendly at Stade Velodrome, Marseille on Tuesday.

The France captain rose high at the near post to head in a corner from Antoine Griezmann on 83 minutes and secured a home victory for Didier Deschamp’s men, while the coach made eight changes to his side.

Three minutes later, Varane’s Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema had an opportunity to double the lead with a penalty after Oscar Wendt committed a handball in the box, but the striker blazed the ball over the crossbar.

“I am very happy to finish the calendar year on a good note,” said Varane, who took the captain’s armband as regular national skipper Hugo Lloris sat out Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Tuesday’s match.

“To be captain, it is the cherry on Hypervenom Phantom FG top of the cake, but what matters is the team,” he added.

Benzema admitted he’s disappointed after missing the penalty but felt happy with the result.

“On the penalty, I wanted to hit the ball hard,” he said. “I’m disappointed but what’s important is the win.

With their all-time leading scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic again sitting on the sidelines, Sweden, who conceded a late equalizer in an Euro 2016 qualifier away to Montenegro on Saturday, came out toothless in attack and saw France dominating most of the contest.

Goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson has been the key preventing Erik Hamren’s side Mercurial Superfly IV FG from losing more before Les Bleus added to Messi Soccer Cleats friendly wins over Spain, Portugal and Armenia this season.

Lucas Digne did not start for France, which may have saved Les Bleus’ kit man a few blushes, as a picture on social network showed the Paris Saint-Germain left back’s name was spelled “Dgne” on his shirt hanging up in the pre-match dressing room.
