Pogba, Griezmann, Payet - How France could line up in Euro 2016 final against Portugal


GOAL TEAM NEWS

Didier Deschamps is set to stick with the same XI which downed Germany in the Euro 2016 semi-final when his France side take on Portugal in Saint-Denis on Sunday.

Moussa Sissoko and Samuel Umtiti were added to the line up through the knockout stages as replacements for N’Golo Kante and Adil Rami – who missed out through suspension – and have performed well enough to keep their places for the final.

Elsewhere, it’s as expected. Six-goal Antoine Griezmann has been the star of the European Championship and will play up front with Olivier Giroud and Dimitri Payet.

Sissoko will occupy a spot on the right flank and in midfield will be Manchester United targets Blaise Matuidi and €120m-rated Paul Pogba.

Defenders Laurent Koscielny, Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna – along with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris – have been ever-present.

New Barcelona signing Umtiti will remain in the line-up at centre back.
