Hosts France entered the tournament as favourites to come out as winners. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had just come off one of his best seasons with Tottenham Hotspurs as the team challenged for the Premier League title.

At the Euros, Lloris has been a dependable figure at the back keeping three clean sheets in the tournament despite a few weak defensive performances from his back four. With 14 saves, he has come to the fore when France needed him throughout the tournament.

His ball distribution is a huge blessing to the French, as Lloris can cover almost 3/4th of the pitch with his throws. He has also dealt with air-balls very well throughout the tournament.
