How can this Python code be simplified?

Question

Python

There is a code:

for player in players:
    if player["id"] == user_id: return player
    else: return False

How can you fit it in one line?
PS I tried like this: return [d for d in players if d["id"] == user_id], but then it returns not False, but an empty array. It would be desirable that if if does not work returned False.

Answer 1

next((d for d in players if d["id"] == user_id), False)

Answer 2

Why is there a loop at all if after the first iteration either player or False will
return anyway return players[0] if players[0]['id'] == user_id else False
PS Answer to your "PS"
Try return [d for d in players if d["id"] == user_id] or False
