During an appearance on Rothen s’enflamme this Thursday, former Barcelona and Spain central defender Gerard Piqué discussed the upcoming Kings League and the 2026 World Cup in the United States. When asked about the main favorites for the tournament, the 38-year-old Spaniard acknowledged that France has all the tools to succeed.
“Honestly, if we look at each player individually, France has the most talent in this World Cup. They reached the finals in the last two editions, winning in 2018 and losing in 2022. On paper, they are the best team. However, we have seen many times in football that names alone don’t guarantee victory. It’s important to build a team where players truly connect, understand each other on the field, and have worked well tactically in both defense and attack. That’s what makes football beautiful: you never know what will happen. Even if you’re the favorite on paper, any team can defeat you.” The answer will unfold next summer.
