In the biggest game of his footballing career until now, Aurelien Tchouameni played the anchor role and helped the French National Team advance past an impressive Morocco side in the World Cup semi-finals.

Tchouameni finished the game with 65 touches, four interceptions, and two key passes. His France side will now face Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday.
