Euro 2024 is fast approaching. Indeed, this Tuesday, after the match against Chile at the Vélodrome, the French team will head to the continental competition in Germany. And the latest signals sent by the Blues are really not reassuring. Facing Germany this Saturday in Lyon, Kylian Mbappé's teammates were defeated on all counts by a superior Mannschaft. However, several observers of European football do not budge: France remains the favorite for Euro 2024. And even after the victory of Julian Nagelsmann's selection, some on the other side of the Rhine remain convinced of victory. France's final next July.

This is particularly the case of Philipp Lahm. The legendary 40-year-old right defender said he had high expectations of the French in an interview withAFP : “the favourite ? France, simply because they have, I would say, 40 players, they really have a lot of very talented players. They have a very balanced group and can easily make changes, bringing in players from the bench who would normally have the legitimacy to play from the start. But what is decisive is to present yourself as a team on the field.» It remains to be seen whether the 2014 world champion's prediction will come true in Germany.
