South American teams, historically don't do well in Europe. Fancy France or Germany
I don’t see it with France.
Koscielny is a not a great defender and Varane - whilst rapid- can lack a certain level of intelligence at central defence to be named up there with the very elite level of defenders in my opinion.
He is still a top class player however.
Mendy might not even go.
Giroud seems to be their main number 9.
Lloris has too many blunders in him to be granted world class.
Pogba is very hit and miss.
Mbappe still young and as the Madrid tie’s showed with Paris, he may be taleneted but still shows his inexperience in the very elite games.

Spain and Germany look the elite teams in Europe at the moment.
Spain look very good and are probably my tip to win it.
