Goals from Samuel Umtiti, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele helped Les Bleus' prepare for the showpiece in Russia, but the treatment of Pogba was the main talking point.

Marseille forward Florian Thauvin was also booed when replacing Kylian Mbappe seven minutes from time and manager Didier Deschamps had the following to say on it:
