Khephren Thuram and France's Under-21 European Championships campaign ended in disappointment last night as they were dispatched 3-1 by Ukraine at the quarter final stage.
Les Bleus initially raced into the lead via Olympique Lyonnais' Rayan Cherki, but quickly fell behind and went on to lose the match within 90 minutes. To add to Thuram's personal misery, he was hauled off after 72 minutes having been booked earlier in the second half.
The OGC Nice man had been at the heart of his country's success at the tournament prior to their first knockout tie, playing two of the three wins in the group stages.
