French team
Taking on Spain, the 29-year-old midfielder
Rabiot
made his comeback game and made his debut. The appearance not only marked his return, but made history as Rabiot became the first uncontracted player to start a Europa League semifinal.
Rabiot had left Paris Saint-Germain to join Serie A giants Juventus in 2019. However, his contract with Juve expired on June 30 and the two sides have yet to agree on a renewal and Rabiot has not signed a new contract with any other club.
Against this backdrop, Rabiot showed his professionalism and athleticism as a professional player by representing the French national team in the Europa League semi-finals. His performance is not only about his personal future, but may also affect his value in the transfer market.
Rabiot's no-contract status is not common in international soccer, especially at such a high level. This special status of his certainly adds to the spectacle of the game, and makes fans curious about where he will go next.
