Blaise Matuidi is ready for Euro 2016.
Since France qualifies automatically for next year's competition as the host, Les Bleus used the eighth matchday of qualifying to take on Serbia in a friendly at Girondins de Bordeaux's Matmut Atlantique.
After heading home the opening goal only nine minutes into the fixture, Matuidi outdid himself just over a quarter-hour later, scoring his second goal of the match by one-timing a 20-yard screamer through traffic with his left foot.
It really isn't often that Matuidi scores twice in one game.
2 - Blaise Matuidi has scored two braces in 37 games with France, one more than in 337 Ligue 1 games. Patriot.
