Launched in 2017 by Didier Deschamps, Benjamin Pavard has made 48 selections for the France team.
Violently dismissed by Didier Deschamps in the middle of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, passing behind Jules Koundé and even Axel Disasi as right-back, Benjamin Pavard found the starting lineup of the Blues for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Ireland, Monday evening in Dublin.
The Bayern defender is now 48 caps, at 26, and his score is symbolic since he equals Karim Benzema in number of matches played under “La Dèche”. The Northerner was launched in 2017 in the tricolor selection to then become the holder on the right of the defense at the World Cup in Russia.
Note that Antoine Griezmann is the player who has been used the most by “DD” (119 times with this Eire-France), ahead of Olivier Giroud (113 games) and Hugo Lloris (108 but retired internationally). Kylian Mbappé is on his 68th selection, all under the Deschamps era.
