UEFA Euro 2016: Greatest France XI

France's title-winning Euro 2000 squad

Forwards

Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet

Keeping in line with the formation we've chosen beforehand, we've gone with two forwards for the squad. Both of the strikers on this list were extremely crucial for their teams and whose goals ensured their team won the title.

First up is none other than Thierry Henry. The mercurial forward was a beast when on the ball. His unpredictability with the ball, his composure, his energy and goal-scoring prowess made him one of the world's best players. He scored goals for fun and most of them were worldlies that shook the stadium. Henry's contribution to the team earned him a place on the UEFA Team of the Tournament.

The second forward and last player on this list is the one who scored the all-important winning goal in the UEFA Euro 2000 final. David Trezeguet was only 22 at the time and scored for France in the 103rd minute sealing the title.

His pace, finishing and eagerness to run in behind defenders caused every opponent France played a problem. He had one of his best tournaments and for France, ensured that they won the coveted title.
