One of the most anticipated events on Twitch took place last night with the kick off of the match between France and Spain during the Eleven All Stars. the Jean Bouin stadium in the 16th arrondissement of Paris will have had the honor of seeing an armada of stars tread its lawn in front of more than 1.2 million people. Indeed, the French team did not want to do things by halves and the majority of French-speaking streamers, youtubers and influencers responded to the image of Michou, Inoxtag, Domingo, Billy, Tonton or even Bruce Grannec and Carlito. All gathered around the same objective, to bring the cup home and put a correction to the Spaniards.
A one-sided victory!
The meeting ended with a solid 2-0 in favor of France who controlled the match from the 1st to the 90th minute of play. The players invited by Amine all gave themselves without exception by wetting the jersey on each action and ownership. This was however not too much the case for the Spaniards who simply lost their footing as soon as Sacha opened the scoring on a magnificent cross from Alonz, the master of the midfield last night.
A devastating head which will have blown up the supporters and the bleachers of the Stade Jean Bouin allowing France to take the psychological advantage in the match. We could have said at that time that the Spaniards, stung, would have wanted to revolt and move forward, but it was not.
The French players absolutely locked everything in defense despite a tackle from Zack Nani on a Spanish striker which could have resulted in a penalty for the Iberian team. It was a small festival in attack with goalscoring opportunities that followed one after the other between the always dangerous strikes of Alonz, the breakthroughs of Sacha, Yass, Pfut or Boumé who will have tried everything to score a second goal.
Then finally it’s Bruce Grannec, quadruple world champion on FIFA and PES, which puts a definitive nail on the Spanish team with a deflected shot in the area. A great reward for Bruce who lives only for football whether on virtual grounds or real lawns! A final score of 2 to 0, undoubtedly flattering for the team of Ibai so much the domination was tricolor.
A rivalry that swells since the Pixel War!
As we know, the rivalry between the French and Spanish communities has been very fierce for years now on Twitch, as proof of the Pixel War, the last big event to date where the two countries sought each other. The Eleven All Stars was an opportunity for Spain to take revenge on the French Twitch after the correction inflicted with pixels last April.
This is clearly reflected on the ground with the Spanish frustration which is well mounted giving way to more aggressive faults which could have created big scuffles. The Spanish team will also end the match at 10 after a red card received for a nasty foul in the area following a tackle too strong from behind. The penalty will not have been transformed since the post will come to save the Spanish from the mythical “And one, and two and three zeros!”. The match also ends with an altercation between the Spaniards and a linesman completely overwhelmed by the events and the broth they took last night.
A record, a beautiful message and a revenge?
There is no doubt that a revenge will take place in Spain, at least that is what Amine suggested during his speech at the end of the match where he thanked all the participants, the technical teams who made it possible for this event can exist and especially by addressing the supporters and viewers who responded massively to the meeting. Amine also took the opportunity to recall why he organized all this : “With all the content creators, we just want you to forget the worries of everyday life and it’s not over, we’re going to give you other great moments with events, lives and content!“.
Because yes, the‘Eleven All Stars became last night the most watched event on Twitch in France with a peak of viewers exceeding 1.2 million ! He passes shortly in front of the Squeezie’s GP Explorer which was held last October with a score of 1.04 million viewers on the Amazon platform. See you very soon for a return match where the France team will certainly be present and will defend their cup on Spanish soil if necessary!
