In the final round, France were held to a 1-1 draw by Poland after a win would have a chance to secure the top spot in the group. After this upset, the French team was in a desperate situation, and they entered the death half of the knockout stage and could be out early at any time.
In this game, the importance is self-evident, in order to win the group, Mba wore a mask to start. The superstar was also very competitive, and he took a penalty in the second half to give France a 1-0 lead.
Dembele broke into the box and was brought down by a Polish player before France won a penalty. Mbappe then took the penalty and calmly fired past the Polish goalkeeper to score with ease. If this score is maintained, France will finish first in Group D.
Unexpectedly, the French team also made mistakes in the penalty area afterwards and finally gave Poland a penalty. Lewandowski then had a shot saved, but because Maignan left the line early, Lewandowski got a second chance to make a penalty, and in the end he didn't waste another chance, relying on Lewandowski's penalty to score, Poland forced a 1-1 draw with a strong French team.
I have to say that the French team was too confused, they failed to win this game and ended up in second place in Group D. In the next knockout round, France will face the second team in Group E, and the opponent is likely to be Belgium.
In Group E, Belgium are now second in the second place, and in the final round of matches, this group will have four points at any time, and Belgium will qualify second. Seeing the upset of the French team, the Belgian team may have to go all out to win the first place. However, even if Belgium can get three points in the final round, as long as Slovakia beat Romania, Belgium will still be second in the group, and they are now beaten by France.
As for Portugal, they are undoubtedly the toughest team. Because of the early locking of the first place in the group, the Portuguese team has no way to avoid it. If they reach the quarter-finals, Portugal will meet France at any time. Although France did not perform well in the group stage, if they find their form in the knockout rounds, Portugal may be in big trouble. Of course, France will face a huge test in the top half, and in addition to possibly meeting Belgium and Portugal in a row, France will also face a challenge from Spain or Germany if they can reach the last four. I have to say that the French team is really not angry, because a 1-1 not only put themselves in a desperate situation, but also pitted Belgium and Portugal 2 teams, they got the hellish difficulty script in the European Cup, and they can be out early at any time!
