Hugo Lloris made his 100th appearance for France in the World Cup clash against Peru on Thursday. The France captain became the seventh player to reach the landmark, joining company that includes national coach Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane.

Lloris – who made his debut in 2008 – captained Les Bleus for their 2016 European Championship campaign on home soil, where they were defeated in the final by Portugal, and has played at three World Cups.

France defeated Australia in its opening match at the 2018 World Cup and will seal its place in the round of 16 if it beats Peru in Ekaterinburg on Thursday.
