Against Belgium, the French team absolutely must raise its level to avoid another exit from the round of 16, this Monday at Euro 2024.
The time has come for a reunion. Six years after a clash that left its mark in the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup, are the Belgians still feeling the pinch? On bad terms with their supporters, Romelu Lukaku’s teammates have a golden opportunity to seal a reconciliation by dominating this French team that had blocked their path to the final in Russia.
France are slight favourites for this round of 16, but like their neighbours, after a sluggish first round, they are also having problems with their offensive efficiency. And their leaders are not in great shape, like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann.
“We hope that only the French will wake up, declared Mbappé on the eve of this decisive match. We must not give ourselves excuses, it was not a high-level group stage but we are qualified and it We will have to show ourselves, raise our level of play because if we don’t win against a good team, we go home. I don’t feel any particular doubt. There was an awareness, and the fact of not finishing. first one woke up a lot of people: we are ready to put on the right match.”
