The competition at Euro 2020 saw one of the most surprising scenarios when France, one of the leading candidates for the title, was eliminated after a painful defeat in the penalty shootout against Switzerland. This failure has sparked much discussion about the potential of the French team at Euro 2024.
Looking back at history, France has twice won the Euro (1984 and 2000), and is currently ranked second in the FIFA rankings as of February 2024. Under the guidance of coach Didier Deschamps, Les Bleus possess a strong and deep starting lineup with many of the world’s top players such as Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, and Olivier Giroud, who won the 2018 World Cup.
However, the fact that Mbappe missed the decisive penalty at Euro 2020 has raised many questions about the fighting spirit of the team. The question is whether France can overcome the failure at Euro 2020 and continue their winning tradition at Euro 2024?
Everything is still unclear, but one thing is certain, France will not stop trying to assert its position. With a talented lineup and the constant support from fans, Les Bleus will definitely dedicate all their efforts to regain the number one position at Euro 2024.
