The France national team arrived at Euro 2024 in Germany as the main favorite of the tournament, but Didier Deschamps’ team was extremely disappointing, despite reaching the semifinals. During the group stage, the French were unable to score any goals from open play, with their first such goal coming only in the semifinals. The tournament was also a letdown for the superstar “Les Bleus,” Kylian Mbappé.
The previous Nations League campaign was also highly unsuccessful for France. They finished third in their group with 5 points, just ahead of Austria, who had 4 points. Denmark and Croatia finished above “Les Bleus.”
“La Squadra Azzurra” was arguably the biggest disappointment of Euro 2024. The team, arriving as European champions under Luciano Spalletti, was eliminated in the round of 16, losing to Switzerland. Moreover, in the group stage, Italy struggled to beat Albania, lost to Spain without a chance, and only narrowly avoided defeat against Croatia in the final moments.
In the previous Nations League campaign, Italy won their group but lost to Spain in the semifinals and then defeated the Netherlands 3-2 in the third-place match. Interestingly, despite the failure at Euro 2024, Luciano Spalletti retained his position.
