Adrien Rabiot
Notches three interceptions
Rabiot generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 2-0 win against Morocco.
Analysis: Rabiot has not left the field for France since entering the knockout stages, with the midfielder only leaving the field for one group stage match thus far. He would earn a shot and a cross, but more of his efforts were in the defense, with one tackle won, three interceptions and four clearances. However, he is yet to earn a goal contribution since their tournament opener against Senegal.
Takes three shots in win
Rabiot had three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Paraguay.
Analysis: Rabiot was unable to threaten the opposing goal with a few missed attempts from outside the box during the World Cup round of 16 clash. Other than that, the midfielder delivered 51 accurate passes, falling just below his tournament average of 57.8 per game. He has been a constant presence in France's lineup, yet his assist in the opening match remains his only direct contribution over four appearances.
Active performance in win
Rabiot recorded two shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Sweden.
Analysis: Rabiot created his most scoring chances in the current World Cup during his third start of the competition, and he stood out for a 91 percent pass accuracy. Still, his contribution wasn't as decisive as that of other midfielders attackers on the team, and he also committed four fouls throughout the match. He remains with one assist from five chances created across 270 minutes of play so far.
Decent outing against Iraq
Rabiot recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Monday's 3-0 victory versus Iraq.
Analysis: Rabiot lined up alongside Manu Kone in France's double pivot and once again served as one of the team's primary tempo-setters after recording an assist in the win over Senegal. He played a key role in helping France control possession throughout a match that was delayed more than two hours by a lightning storm in Philadelphia. Rabiot also chipped in with one shot and one tackle won, while France punched their ticket to the Round of 32 and will now face Norway on June 26 with first place in Group I on the line.
Delivers assist in win
Rabiot assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-1 win against Senegal.
Analysis: Rabiot played a major role in France's much-improved second-half performance, first teeing up Desire Doue for a shot that forced a save from Edouard Mendy in the 74th minute before delivering the pass that Bradley Barcola turned into a goal in the 82nd minute. He brought a steady hand to the midfield throughout the match and helped France seize control of the tempo once the side found its groove after halftime. Rabiot's veteran presence and composure proved invaluable as France gradually wore down a resilient Senegal squad.
Box-to-box role for France
Rabiot has been named in France's World Cup squad and is expected to be a key presence in the engine room as coach Didier Deschamps looks to balance creativity and defensive solidity in the middle of the park.
Analysis: Rabiot finishes the season still showcasing his status as one of the most complete box-to-box midfielders in European football, posting six goals, four assists, 60 crosses, and 27 chances created while also delivering strong defensive output with 57 tackles, 21 interceptions, and 41 clearances in 29 appearances (28 starts) for AC Milan following his controversial departure from Marseille earlier in the campaign. The veteran international brings a blend of physical edge, technical quality, and a true winning mentality to France's midfield that very few players can match, and his ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball makes him a key piece in coach Didier Deschamps' system. Rabiot enters the tournament with a slight inside track to start alongside Aurelien Tchouameni in a balanced double pivot behind the front four.
Productive display against Atalanta
Rabiot had four shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created and drew four fouls in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Atalanta.
Analysis: Rabiot was one of the few Milan men who had a quality performance in the loss and was particularly active in the final third, matching his season high in attempts, but he wasn't involved in the two goals. He has recorded at least one tackle in six consecutive fixtures, amassing 16 (seven won), scoring once and adding 10 shots (three on target), four interceptions and five clearances during that stretch. Additionally, this marked his 11th appearance on the trot with one or more crosses, for a total of 25 (six accurate).
Nets game-winner
Rabiot scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Verona.
Analysis: Rabiot's first half strike Sunday proved conclusive as AC Milan earned a narrow 1-0 victory at Verona. In addition to his goal contribution, the midfielder contributed two clearances and one block to the clean sheet effort across his 90-minute shift. Since missing a mid-March fixture due to suspension, Rabiot has started and played the full 90 minutes across four successive Serie A matches.
