Guest on After Foot on RMC after the 2026 World Cup draw, Pape Gueye mentioned the France-Senegal match which will be special one for him who could have played for Les Bleus, but also for the Senegalese who remember the victory of the Lions in 2002 against the French team.
«It’s a special match. To qualify for the World Cup, we expected it, but we didn’t know that we would fall against France. It is a pride for me personally.
I was born in France. There is also a story in 2002. We will prepare well. 2002? It was a great match. We were young but it meant a lot to the country”,
confided the midfielder from Villarreal.
