June 15, 2021 Little Germany, lots of France. The specific weight challenge of a final ends with the success of the transalpine world champions over German whites, who appeared to be a formation still in search of an identity. At the Allianz Arena in Munich the match between six World Cups and five European Championships ended 1-0. Leading Group F after Matchday 1, France have 3 points like Portugal who beat Hungary. And in the next round Germany finds the reigning champions of Cristiano Ronaldo: for the Germans last appeal.
Deschamps, former Juventus player and coach, with the 4-3-1-2: Lloris; Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe, Milan's Théo Hernandez on the left wing; the former Juventus player Pobga in the median with Kanté and the current Juventus player Rabiot; Griezmann behind Mbappé and Benzema. Löw replies with 3-4-3: Neuer; Ginter, Hummels and the former Romanist Rüdiger in defense; Kimmich, Kroos, Gündoğan and the Atalantino Gosens in midfield, the eternal Müller forward with Gnabry and Havertz. The Spaniard Del Cerro Grande referees.
Start of great circumspection of the teams who do not want to discover themselves. Ball possession is French. At 16 'Pogba's high header from a corner. A minute later Mbappé frees the right, Neuer puts it in the corner. The territorial dominance of the
Bleus
leads to the advantage in the 20 ': Pogba sends Hernandez on the left, on the cross of the lateral Hummels puts in his own goal to anticipate Mbappé. German replica with Müller, his header from Gosens' cross in the 22nd minute is out of proportion. Kroos tries on a free kick but in the 25th minute he hits the barrier and in the 27th minute he sends high. Opportunities are latent, the first half goes by without further jolts
In the second half Germany continues to suffer, so much so that Rabiot hits the outside post in the 52nd minute. The German whites are shaken and on a cross by Gosens Gnabry beats on the fly sending just over the crossbar. Signs of recovery from Löw's team. Lloris has to come out low to get ahead of Gnabry. Then on a cross from Kimmich Gosens he anticipates Pavard a few steps from the goal but committing a foul (59 '). French break and Mbappé also scores but starting offside (66 '). Löw tries to change the cards with Werner for Gnabry and Sané for Havertz in the 74th minute. At 78 'Mbappé drinks Hummels who then counteracts him from behind in the area, Del Cerro grande lets him play, but the foul seems to be there. Second goal canceled for France in the 85th minute for offside by Mbappé who then had packaged the assist to Benzema. Convulsive ending. Ginter can't take it anymore,ex Juve Emre Can enters, Volland alternates Gosens (87 'and 88'). Deschamps calls Benzema to insert Tolisso (89 '). In the recovery Dembélé for Rabiot in the transalpines. The result does not change even after almost 8 'of recovery.
