In the early morning of Wednesday (22nd) in Group B of the Europa League qualifying round, France, who have already secured the right to go out of the competition, were only able to draw 2-2 with Greece, and their winning streak was cut short. As a result, Portugal in Group J became the only team to have a complete win in this year's Europa League, and Belgian striker Lukasz Lukagow became the scorer of the year with 14 goals.
With the Group B qualification situation already decided before the match, France's manager Digne D'Aguinz also withdrew Kylian McBarbee from his squad, but still managed to get the first goal with another Paris Saint-Germain striker, Giorgio Mianni, who scored in the 42nd minute. After the change of sides, Greece, who had already qualified for the play-offs, quickly scored 2 goals in a row to overtake the lead. France finally relied on midfielder Youssouf Koffinger to equalize the match 2-2, and achieved 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 matches in the European Union, failing to maintain a 100% win rate, but not hindered by the first place in the final week, and seeding status.
