Barcola struggles as France thrash Belgium 4–1
Bradley Barcola endured a frustrating night as France came from behind to beat Belgium 4–1 in the Nations League.
The Liverpool winger was handed a start on the left side of France’s attack and remained on the pitch for 71 minutes, but he was unable to register a goal or assist.
France eventually produced a stunning late comeback, scoring four times to secure a convincing victory. However, Barcola’s individual performance attracted criticism, particularly for his finishing and decision-making in the final third.
Despite the difficult outing, Barcola remains an important attacking option for France and will now look to return to club football and rediscover his best form with Liverpool.
His next performances will be closely watched, especially after his big-money move to Anfield.
