Match Analysis
Since the start of the competition, Didier Deschamps' men have not yet played a “reference” match. If they have conceded only one goal in 4 matches, they have scored only 3, including two goals scored by the opposing team against their camp (Austria and Belgium) and one goal from a penalty (Kylian Mbappé). In this Euro, the strength of this French team is undoubtedly the defensive sector. Against Portugal, the attackers will necessarily have to be more decisive.
It can hardly be said that Roberto Martinez's players have had a more perfect campaign. Last-minute winners against Slovenia in the round of 16 after a penalty shootout, they were on the verge of elimination. Their group stage defeat to Georgia (2-0) is a stain on their history. Nothing was decided in this match against France in this new edition of the Euro 2016 final.
