So.

In the Flare---

Rudder to align the nose straight down the runway.
Aileron used as required to keep it over the centerline and not drifting downwind and if the xwind is strong enough land on the upwind wheels first. Yep a small gentle sideslip.

Basically like a 777.

You will find that unlike a 777 the Airbus won't require Aileron to keep the wings level while pushing in the rudder during a gentle crosswind, the FBW will do that for you. ( it's supposed to but........)
