France will not have Ousmane Dembélé for the remaining fixtures of the Euro. The Barcelona forward left the national team because of a hamstring injury.

Euro 2020 may be taking place a year later, but that has turned out to be a boon for most teams. Most players have gotten a year older, stronger and better. It has also given managers more time to think about their way of playing and their starting line-up.

Cristiano Ronaldo is ready for the Euro, where Portugal will try to replicate their surprising win of 2016. He will try to break the all-time record as the top scorer for a national team, which currently belongs to Ali Daei, who is five goals away.
