Euro 2016: A matter of pride for Les Bleus

This is the best team they’ve had for years

Paul Pogba is the crown jewel in a very gifted French team.

Paul Pogba was named the Best Young Player at the 2016 World Cup. He could very well end up as the Best Player at Euro 2016. The meteoric rise of Pogba, since his move to Juventus, hasn’t been a one-off story either.

Antoine Griezmann has turned into one of the most lethal forward in the game at Atletico Madrid, while Dimitri Payet has already proven his ability to transfer his club form to the national team, against Romania. N’Golo Kante is coming off a miracle Premier League triumph with Leicester City, and captain Hugo Lloris is one of the most reliable keepers in world football today.

Even missing some big names such as Raphael Varane, this is the best the French team has looked for a long long time.
