ALPHONSE AREOLA BECOMES THE WORLD CUP WINNER WITHOUT A CAP FOR FRANCE.

The third choice goalkeeper for France Alphonse Areola, who is playing his club in France with P.S.G. Now he has never ever played a single minute for France either in a friendly or in a major match for France. But he did win a world cup medal in Russia at the 2018 world cup. We will have to go back to the year 1982, and the world cup in Spain, that was 36, thirty six years ago, to find another player who won the world cup without playing a single minute, at that world cup. That other footballer was the famous Italian defender of A.C.Milan , he was named Franco Barresi, he has now become a household name I must say. In fact A.C. Milan have retired his famous Jersey number 3 three.
