France advanced to the World Cup finals twice, and while the spotlight was on attacking greats such as Chiote, Kylian Mbappe and Kishavin, 35-year-old goalkeeper Lloris was equally indispensable. He managed to shut out his opponents in the match, raising his World Cup shutout tally to 8, behind only France's legendary goalkeeper Bavus and England's Schluden.
Lloris has made 19 World Cup appearances, tying him with German goalkeeper Neua for the most appearances by a goalkeeper. This means that Lloris is expected to set this record in the upcoming final.
In the quarterfinal match against Morocco, Lloris put in an outstanding performance, keeping his opponents repeatedly at bay and achieving his eighth World Cup shutout. In the history of the tournament, his number of shutouts is only two less than Bavs and Schluden. If he wants to surpass these two legendary goalkeepers, Lloris will need to play in at least one more World Cup, but considering that he is already 35 years old, it is still unknown whether he will be able to play in the next World Cup.
