Kimpembe captain, France and Croatia draw
The Paris Saint-Germain defender captained his country as they were held 1-1 by Croatia in Monday's Nations League game.
After Friday's defeat to Denmark, the world champions looked like they would pick up a win thanks to Adrien Rabiot's goal, but were pegged back late on.
No fewer than six Paris Saint-Germain youth academy graduates were in the France side in Split. Kylian Mbappé didn't feature in the game.
