Daniel Riolo criticizes Lions' performance after defeat against France

French journalist Daniel Riolo strongly criticized the Lions of Teranga after their 3-1 loss to France in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. On RMC Sport's After Foot show, he called the performance 'catastrophic,' lamenting a lack of ambition, determination, and game plan. He also singled out Sadio Mane for declining form, Kalidou Koulibaly for subpar play, and the invisibility of midfielders Lamine Camara and Pape Gueye. Senegal still has a chance to qualify but must beat Norway in their next match.
