France U21 are through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Under-21 European Championship 2025 after a convincing 4–1 win over Poland in their final Group C match.

The standout performer was Jawu Cissé — the Stade Rennais midfielder scored twice with spectacular long-range efforts to put Les Bleuets firmly in control.

Despite a shaky second half, Gérald Baticle’s side secured second place in Group C, finishing behind group winners Portugal U21.

France U21 will now face Denmark U21 in the quarter-finals on Sunday, with a spot in the semi-finals of UEFA Euro U21 2025 at stake.
