Portugal v France: UEFA EURO 2016 final preview

Didier Deschamps and his players are "privileged" to have made it to a home final against a Portugal side boosted by Pepe's fitness but needing to end a ten-game losing run if they are to lift a first major trophy.

  • Portugal – eyeing a first major trophy – take on hosts France in UEFA EURO 2016 final
  • France have won their last ten games against Portugal, a run dating back to 1975
  • France coach Didier Deschamps: "We need to seize this opportunity"
  • Les Bleus also won EURO '84 and 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil
  • Portugal's Fernando Santos says his side have "great belief"
  • Portugal defender Pepe expected to be declared fit to start


Possible line-ups
Portugal: Rui Patrício; Cédric, Pepe, Fonte, Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Adrien, João Mário, Renato Sanches; Nani, Ronaldo.
Doubtful: Pepe (thigh)

Pepe missed the semi-final with a thigh injury but trained on Saturday and "didn't express any complaints", according to Fernando Santos. William Carvalho is expected to replace Danilo in central midfield.

France: Lloris; Sagna, Koscielny, Umtiti, Evra; Pogba, Matuidi; Sissoko, Griezmann, Payet; Giroud.

France feeling calm ahead of final

France should be unchanged, despite French media speculation about N'Golo Kanté being brought in to stiffen the midfield and whether Dimitri Payet should start after a quiet game in the semis.

Overall boring game as f***, obviously seeing that after rough faul on Ronaldo, which saw this dumb ref do nothing, as he didnt do nothing entire game, game itself went into tactical way of just finishing 90 min and then heading into penalties, but the will of scoring and will of winning the game gave Portugal deserving win, seeing Ronaldo cheering his teammates from side of pitch was priceless, best captain among every team there is on the world, noone has given so much cheering and effort into his teammates as Ronaldo showed today how much he wanted to win the finals.

 

Why France didnt win?

-Leaving at home Benzema, who was at excellent form with Real entire season, taking up two donkies who re uncapeable of scoring clear chances

-Having bad fortune with injury of excellent Varane, who would definitely play first team and putting Umtiti instead of Rami, what a horrible choice rofl

-Pogba? Was he even playing, havent seen nothing from him, same from Payet

-Bad but really bad changes from the bench, taking out Sissoko who was France best player by far and leaving Pogba inside who did nothing was first mistake, then not putting Martial sooner inside who could probably do more than Gignac.

-Playing too comfortable after Ronaldo had to leave the field, was obvious from miles that Portugal was shocked by his injury and at that first half they could of easily scored if they put more pressure towards attack

 

At the end, deserving win of Portugal who definitely made it into history, 12 long years for Ronaldo who was missing this trophy and probably his last serious tournament that hes at his peak of powers in chances of winning it, now time to have a long celebration.
