France Displays Resilience: A Potential Turning Point or Just a Temporary Upsurge? By Raphaël Jucobin Didier Deschamps expressed a sense of pride following France's impressive 3-1 victory at San Siro, a result that allowed them to avenge their earlier defeat to Italy by the same scoreline just two months prior.

While it may be too soon to declare a full "renaissance" for the French team, as suggested by Monday's headlines in L’Équipe, the resilient performance has certainly raised hopes among fans and analysts alike.

As France looks to build on this momentum, the question remains: is this victory a genuine turning point for the national team, or merely a fleeting moment of success?
