Vinicius Junior’s perfectly executed rainbow skill is something very few players in the world would try in a match, let alone in a WC qualifier against Argentina. That’s just genius.

After an initial warm-up, the players worked on rondos, intense running drills and possession-based exercises. Next up, the madridistas contested a match on a reduced-sized pitch, before rounding things off with further fitness work. pic.twitter.com/C9bKATiMvu

Les Bleus trouvent enfin le chemin des filets à #Helsinki.
Score actuel :
FINLANDE 0️⃣-1️⃣ FRANCE #Benzema #equipedefrance #Deschamps #FINFRA #France #KB9 #EDF #AllezLesBleuspic.twitter.com/AOO6StFdDJ
The French striker has been simply amazing for Les Bleus.
Benzema has scored in 4 consecutive games for France, he's the first player to do so since he himself did it between November 2013 and June 2014. @OptaJean #rmalive
