Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot concluded their World Cup journey in fourth place with France, suffering a 6-4 defeat to England in the third-place play-off held at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. This victory marks England’s return to the World Cup podium for the first time since they lifted the trophy in 1966. Both Maignan and Rabiot played the entire match after they were included in Didier Deschamps’ starting line-up for his last game as coach of Les Bleus.

England took the lead in the first half with goals from Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa, and a brace from Bukayo Saka. France mounted a comeback after halftime, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice, and Bradley Barcola adding another goal. However, Saka later converted a penalty for England, and despite Ousmane Dembélé pulling another goal back for France, Jude Bellingham capped off the match with a goal, sealing a 6-4 win for the Three Lions.
