"What he shows on the pitch is very impressive. We also see it in training. We are very happy to work with him.

Raphael Varane, also a key part of France's World Cup-winning squad, enjoyed a fine year which included helping Real Madrid secure another Champions League title.Matuidi, whose team are preparing to face Germany in the Nations League on Tuesday, lauded the 25-year-old centre-back as one of the world's best defenders.
"Raphael had a great season. He won the Champions League. He is a world champion. That's good for him," he said.
"He is one of the [Ballon d'Or] nominees. If he's nominated, it's because he deserves it. Currently, he is one of the best defenders in the world or perhaps the best if we look at his performances in the few seasons. But there are other great defenders.
"Anyway, he's had a great career, even if it's far from the end. He's still young. He has already won a lot, but he still has time to win even more – especially with the national team."
