This Saturday, all eyes will be on Lisbon as the Champions League final unfolds, featuring a face-off between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. Raphaël Varane is expected to take the field at the Estádio da Luz for this highly anticipated match.
The French defender has been a key player in Real Madrid’s central defense and was selected by Didier Deschamps for France’s 23-man squad heading to the World Cup in Brazil. Ahead of the Champions League final against Atlético Madrid, Varane shared his thoughts on his World Cup call-up in an interview with Le Figaro.
“It’s always an immense source of pride and a special feeling to be called up to represent my country, especially for a World Cup in Brazil. It’s a great moment for me,” Varane expressed. “Experiencing what I am at my age, whether with Real Madrid or the French national team, is exceptional. I try to stay grounded while recognizing that I’m living out a childhood dream.”
