I'm not interested in football, but I studied French at school. It should be with "n", as the Champs-Elysées is the Champs Elysees. However, I can't tell you why they write it with "m" ..
One of the beauties in French is the nasal pronunciation. In almost every word there are combinations that are read nasally (as if your nose is blocked). The name Didier Deschamps contains the word champs. It is pronounced nasally. It is neither DeshaN nor DeshaM.
In French, many of the letters you write are not pronounced when you read them.
Champs means fields, you've heard it (I hope) and in Les Champs-Élysées (Champs-Élysées). . It is neither n nor m ... And it is a nasal sound that I cannot describe to you. P and S in turn are not pronounced. Bulgarians will rarely pronounce it correctly, because they are not familiar with French handkerchiefs, which are just as important as the famous French river. I personally think that this is a mistake, maybe not a big one, but still a mistake, because it should, at least journalists, to learn to pronounce the names of the foreigners they are talking about correctly. Be it footballers, politicians or actors.
