International career
For France, Leboeuf was capped 50 times, scoring four goals. Although he was mai
nly a substitute in the 1998 World Cup, he stepped in for red carded Laurent Bla
nc to play in the final,[7] a 3 0 win against Brazil, a match in which he famously
man-marked Ronaldo. In the final Ronaldo only was able to do a couple of his tr
ademark runs thanks to an almost flawless defensive performance by Leboeuf.

rld Cup.
