Camavinga proud of historic debut for Les Bleus

Eduardo Camavinga said he was "proud for his family" after the Rennes prodigy became France's youngest international in 96 years as Les Bleus won a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final in a 4-2 Nations League victory over Croatia on Tuesday.

Midfielder Camavinga, aged 17 years and 9 months, replaced N'Golo Kante at Stade de France in the second half and is only surpassed in the age stakes by Julien Verbrugghe (16 years and 10 months in 1906) and Maurice Gastiger (17 years and 4 months) in 1914.

"Firstly I feel joy and pride for my family and all the French population," said Camavinga, who was born in Angola, moved to France aged 2 and only received French nationality in November.
