France struggled at Philadelphia Stadium to advance to the World Cup quarter-finals. The swashbuckling Paraguay team used many tricks to throw the French off balance, but it wasn’t enough. Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of the match from a penalty.
Afterwards, Ibrahimovic pays tribute to "Les Bleus".
"I don’t like it when someone tries to provoke, but it’s part of the sport and at the same time it’s not. But France showed coolness, they were relaxed and did what they needed to do," he says.
France next faces Morocco in the quarter-finals.
