First great final of the Eurocup was lived last night between the teams of France and Germany. What has become clear is that France is running to win Euro 2020. The current world champion was superior to the German team although they only won by a goal to zero. Two goals were canceled for offside, that of Mbappé and Benzema. The German Hummels scored an own goal and gave the Deschamps team all three points.
Benzema returns to the French national team
Another of the most anticipated moments of the France-Germany was the return of the Real Madrid player after five years apart. Karim Benzema wore his country’s shirt again after being accused of blackmailing his teammate Mathieu Valbuena for a video with sexual content.
Cristiano Ronaldo, top scorer in the history of the European Championship
France is second in the group behind Portugal. The Portuguese team beat Hungary by three goals to nil. Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the top scorer in the Eurocup. The Juventus player scored two goals against Hungary. To date, the Portuguese has scored 11 goals and already surpasses Michel Platini.
The current champion of Europe and the Nations League is another of the rivals to defeat in this European Championship. Fernando Manuel Costa Santos’ team is running to win the title again and match Spain, which also won two consecutive European Cups in 2008 and 2012.
