In the selection, France often took the lead over Italy, as in the 1986 and 1998 World Cups or in the Euro 2000 final. In the club too, the Blues have had some memorable successes, often against AC Milan, beaten by Marseille in 1991 and 1993 then Bordeaux in 1996.

But Juventus Turin is a real beast for French football, which has never found a way to win a double confrontation against the Old Lady. Beaten 2-0 in the semifinals to go to Louis II, Monaco is unlikely to tip the statistics Tuesday in the second leg.
0/12

Eastern Christians have been rooted in the Middle East since the beginnings of Christianity, forming minority communities, but they are confronted with murderous conflicts in the region.

The latter are distinguished by the extreme diversity of the rites which were born there and which are still practiced here.


- Egypt -

The Orthodox Copts targets Sunday of two attacks claimed by the Islamic State (EI) group, constitute the largest Christian community in the Middle East and one of the oldest.

The Copts represent 10% of the more than 92 million Egyptians and are present throughout the country, with higher concentrations in Middle-Egypt. They are poorly represented in government and are marginalized.

The Copts have long been the target of violence, which has worsened since the emergence of jihadist groups such as the IE.

- Iraq -

The Chaldeans represent the majority of Christians in Iraq. With more than a million people - more than 600,000 in Baghdad - before the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, the Christian community has been reduced to less than 350,000 souls, many of whom have fled the violence that is bloodstained in the country since.

Indeed, from the summer of 2014, the Christians of Mosul, the second city of the country, fled en masse the offensive of the EI which took control of whole sections of the country. Tens of thousands of others, most faithful of the Chaldean Catholic Church, followed them on the roads of the exodus.
