Liverpool offer 20m for player involved in Tunisia's humiliation of France

A France side full of substitutes lost 1-0 to Tunisia in Doha on Wednesday, a defeat that did not prevent reigning world champions Les Bleus from topping Group D, where Australia also qualified for the last 16 with a 1-0 win over Denmark in Qatar 2022.

Tunisia bowed out of the World Cup with a prestigious victory, thanks to a solitary goal from captain Wahbi Khazri (58), and four points, while France and Australia, tied on six points but with a better goal difference for the French (+3 to -1), are already awaiting their opponents in the last 16. Denmark, one of the disappointments of the World Cup, are out of the tournament with just one point.
