Helps to clean sheet
Upamecano registered one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 2-0 win against Morocco.
Analysis: Upamecano would have a solid day in defense as France earned a clean sheet, playing the full 90 minutes while earning three tackles (two won) and four clearances. He would also come close to scoring on his one shot, connecting on an early header from a cross before a wonderful save from Bono. Upamecano has only left the field for 14 minutes this World Cup, helping the team to all four of their clean sheets.
Solid outing in round of 16
Upamecano had four tackles (three won), four clearances and four interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 win over Paraguay.
Analysis: Upamecano stood out for his one-on-one efficiency as he won seven of his 10 duels in addition to his diverse defensive production during the victory. He also earned a clean sheet for the third time across five starts in the 2026 World Cup. He's likely to stay in the initial lineup and play as many minutes as possible in the next round against Morocco, looking to contribute through pass accuracy and a variety of defensive stats.
