The France national football team wrote a page of their legend on June 21, 1986, by beating Brazil in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. This mythical match took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, and saw Michel Platini's Bleus win 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. The Brazilians, led by Zico, Sócrates, and Careca, were the favorites of the match, but the French were able to counter them. The match was marked by a brilliant opening by Junior for Careca, who deceived goalkeeper Joël Bats, but the Blues managed to equalize thanks to a goal from Michel Platini. The second half was very disputed, with scoring opportunities on both sides, but it was finally in the penalty shootout that the French took the upper hand. This match has remained etched in the collective memory of French football and is considered one of the greatest matches in the history of the France national team.

The memories of this match are still very vivid, especially for the players who participated, such as Joël Bats and Michel Platini. The fact that the Blues won this match allowed them to break a glass ceiling and give confidence to the team for the rest of the competition. The France-Brazil match of 1986 will forever be in the annals of French football.
