France’s 26 man squad is a team that is one of the best in the world. They have all the top players from all the prominent clubs in the World. They won the last World Cup in Russia in a stunning manner and have gained the tag of powerhouse again after a long time.
Drawn in the group of death:-
They are the favourites to win this summer’s competition but they will not have it easy as they are drawn in the most challenging group of this tournament. They are drawn with Hungary, Germany and reigning European champions Portugal against whom France lost the final in the dying minutes of the game. It will be a tough task for France to get past these teams as they all are the favourites to win this competition.
Key players:-
The young French youngster, Kylian Mbappe has been averaging almost one goal per game for his club and has been compared to Thierry Henry by Arsene Wenger. He will be a critical part of the squad and will help the team in scoring some goals from the wide flank areas and penetrating the defensive line with his astonishing speed.
Didier Deschamps has also included Karim Benzema in the squad who missed France’s expedition in the 2018 World Cup and 2016 Euro. He will be in the striking position and with his agility and a keen eye for open space, he will be a threat in the penalty box.
N’golo Kante had an extraordinary season with Chelsea in England, he won the UEFA Champions League and was awarded the Man of the Match award in both the legs of the semifinals and the final as well. He has been like a wall for his club and it’s very hard to even match his work rate and fitness level on the pitch.
