France Euro 2020 Qualifiers
The France head coach is aware of the challenge his team will face in Euro 2020. He said, “It’s a difficult group, but I think that Joachim Low and Portugal head coach [Fernando Santos] think the same thing. It’s the hardest group, but we have to accept it. We will need to be ready at the beginning of the competition because our first game will be against Germany in Munich. They will play at home. On paper, it’s a tough group. These two teams have many qualities and they recently had good results.”

France Euro 2020 Squad Key Players
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe nabbed the Young Player of the Tournament award in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He easily could have won the Golden Ball award but that went to Luka Modric. The 21-year-old is already one of the best players in the world, scoring goals on a whim for PSG. His pace, skill and energy on the pitch is nearly unmatched by any team.
Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba is considered by many as the world’s best midfielder and in the summer tournament will want to show off what he can really do at the highest level of the game against Europe’s other top sides. He has endured a tough season with Manchester United, getting injured early on and not fully enjoying his playing time at Old Trafford. But he is still an integral part of this French side bringing about a different level of creativity in midfield.
Antoine Griezmann
The Barcelona forward is best-known for being a hard-working front forward. His combination with Olivier Giroud is dangerous and very hard to defend against as seen in the previous world cup.
