It’s been a long 24 years since France last lifted the European Championship trophy, but Les Bleus find themselves among the favorites once again alongside England for Euro 2024.
Many argue that the current French squad is even stronger than the one that reached the World Cup final in Qatar, ultimately falling to a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina.
Despite stumbling in a couple of friendlies against Germany, France dominated their Euro qualifying campaign, finishing undefeated despite navigating a challenging group. They notably secured impressive victories over the Netherlands, both at home and away.
Advancing to the knockout stages as the runners-up in Group D, France is poised for a deep tournament run, with Kylian Mbappe set to spearhead their attack. The forward missed their second group game against the Netherlands due to a broken nose suffered in the opener against Austria. However, he marked his return by scoring against Poland in their final group match — his maiden goal at a European Championship finals.
The question now looms whether Mbappe’s injury will hinder his performance in the crucial knockout rounds as France seeks to reclaim European glory after more than two decades.
