BOSS MODE! Literally single-handedly stopped all dangerous German attacks, and with some master tackling and crucial interceptions at that. We've got ourselves a true Puyol/Masch hybrid
Now to just lock out Cristiano in the final (and of course win the match) and he'll be a hero amongst the Cules even before he actually arrives!

Still think Germany can come back ....

Umtiti has been great so far ....

Good job Barca signed him before the Euros. He's been fantastic tonight

I'd laugh at the usual bipolarity of match reactions but he's really had a great match tonight, hopefully he'll be just as quick at adapting into new team dynamic with FCB as he's been with the senior NT. That lion roar of his at the final ref's peep peep! was a nice touch

What a match he had.

BOSS MODE! 2nd MOTM after 'the obvious' Griezmann, literally single-handedly stopping all dangerous German attacks, and with some master tackling and crucial interceptions at that. PuyolMasch hybrid
Now to just lock out Cristiano in the final (and of course win the match) and he'll be a hero amongst the Cules even before he actually arrives!

Not really. I think he played well, but Griezmann, Lloris, Sissoko, and Pogba were better imo.

great match , never doubted him

great match by Um.....titi

He did fine. These matches will help him grow alot. To get NT debut in the Euro quarters and semis in your home country is as high pressure as it possibly can get. For defenders, who rely on communication and knowing their team mates well, it is very challenging for someone who just joined the team.

I like that a NT coach trusts an inexperienced Umtiti over the guy he preffered at the start - Rami only after Umtiti had played his first NT match a few days ago and now it was also an Euro semi final against Germany. How noteworthy is that, huh?

Almost like Deschamps decided to rate Umtiti after we signed him.

It's still a small sample, but I like what I have seen so far. Hope he starts the final.

Hope he becomes our starter
