Spain and France met at the San Siro on Sunday in the final of the Nations League, a tournament celebrating its second edition and whose reigning champions are Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.
Before the game went in at 0-0 at half-time, the reigning world champions were dealt a bitter blow. Raphaël Varane was forced to leave the field injured.
The current Manchester United centre-back seemed to have injured himself in a simple run, which could have led to a muscular discomfort that prevented him from continuing.
The defender asked to come off and Deschamps decided to replace him with Dayot Upamecano, the Bayern Munich centre-back who left RB Leipzig this season.
