By Ewan Murray After two gruelling weeks for 24 teams in Germany, we now have our confirmed last 16 fixtures for Euro 2024. We have lost eight teams after the conclusion of an enthralling group stage, many of whom are unlikely to be a significant miss in the knockout rounds. Yes, Scotland, Poland and Serbia, we're talking about you. Kicking off on Saturday, there are eight ties to enjoy in the first round of knockout fixtures at this summer's tournament. The majority of Europe's giants have avoided one another, but that certainly hasn't dampened a tantalising set of last 16 battles. Here is a ...

By Sean Walsh France head coach Didier Deschamps admitted Kylian Mbappe struggled to play while wearing a protective mask during their 1-1 draw with Poland on Tuesday. Les Bleus are into the last 16 of Euro 2024, but had to settle for the runners-up spot in Group D after failing to beat an already-eliminated Poland, while Austria beat the Netherlands to leapfrog the French into first place. Mbappe broke his nose during France's win against Austria on matchday one before sitting out their draw with the Netherlands. He made his return starting up front for Tuesday's game clad in a protective mas...

By Ewan Murray When the groups were drawn for Euro 2024, not many predicted that Austria would top Group D ahead of France and the Netherlands. After an exceptional and dramatic final matchday in a fiercely contested group, Ralf Rangnick's side lived up to their tag as dark horses with victories against the Dutch and Poland. While France and the Netherlands did make it to the knockout stages, they have remarkably had to settle for second and third respectively, having struggled to get out of second gear. While not all matches in Group D were belters, there were plenty of magical moments from s...

By Tom Gott Kylian Mbappe opened his European Championship account from the penalty spot on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough to seal top spot for France as their 1-1 draw with Poland saw Les Bleus fall to second place in Group D. Despite his ludicrous record at the World Cup - 12 goals in 14 games - Mbappe headed into the meeting with Poland still on the hunt for his first Euros goal, although that is largely due to France's poor performance in the competition during his international career. Indeed, while this was Mbappe's 80th cap for France, it was just his sixth appearance at the Euros. Les B...

By Sean Walsh Summer's over, people. The first 0-0 draw of Euro 2024 is upon us. It's time to pack up and go home. The 2pm kick-offs on weekdays are a thing of the past. We're winding down from our everyday-diet of three matches, seven screamers and four own goals. So we say a big thanks to France and the Netherlands for bringing down the curtain with their bore 0-0 draw \- a true tragicomedy that William Shakespeare would have been proud of. Whether it was Adrien Rabiot and Antoine Griezmann's sitters, or the typically English officiating for Xavi Simons' disallowed goal, or Memphis Depay's h...

By Tom Gott France were held to an underwhelming 0-0 draw with the Netherlands in the third of Friday's Euro 2024 games. With Kylian Mbappe watching on from the bench just days after breaking his nose, France looked a little disjointed in attack, although Antoine Griezmann will still feel as though he had enough chances to seal the win. Xavi Simons saw a second-half strike controversially chalked off by VAR, with the two sides ultimately labouring to the first goalless draw of Euro 2024. How the game unfoldedJeremie Frimpong got in behind in the opening two minutes but could not get a full con...

By Megan Humphrey Chelsea are primed to strengthen their forward options with the signing of Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Sandy Baltimore, according to reports. The 24-year-old has spent her entire career with PSG, breaking into the team back in 2016 at the age of just 15, and has made more than 150 appearances for the club across all competitions. But a change of scenery appears to be in the offing for the 28-cap French international, who is now out of contract, as The Athletic report that a four-year deal is expected to be penned at Chelsea. The Blues are preparing to usher in a ne...

By Toby Cudworth Kylian Mbappe may be prevented from wearing a protective mask that he's had on in France training because of a little-known Uefa rule. Mbappe broke his nose in France's opening Euro 2024 clash with Austria following a nasty coming together with opposition centre-back Kevin Danso. The 25-year-old leapt to win a header as the ball was crossed into the box, only to be intercepted by the point of the Austrian's shoulder. Extensive on the field treatment was required before Mbappe could be taken off, with Real Madrid's new talisman looking to be in extreme discomfort. France commun...

By Ewan Murray Kylian Mbappe's French jersey was dyed red by the end of France's 1-0 win over Austria in their Euro 2024 opener. As a cross was hurled into the Austrian penalty in stoppage time, France's captain chucked his head at the ball, only to meet the shoulder of centre-back Kevin Danso. You didn't need to be a doctor to see thatthe Real Madrid star had broken his nose, with blood streaming from his nostrils. French supporters have been left sweating on Mbappe's fitness in the days since, with a crucial clash against the Netherlands coming up this Friday. Without their talisman, Les Ble...

By Jack Gallagher It wasn't the prettiest of performances, but France managed to kick start their Euro 2024 campaign with a 1-0 win over a spirited Austria side on Monday. The solitary goal came courtesy of Austria's Maximilian Wober, who headed a Kylian Mbappe cross into his own net on the stroke of half-time. So what did we learn from Les Bleus' nervy win? And what did the game tell us about their chances of going all the way and winning Euro 2024? Kylian Mbappe's injury worriesThe slow motion replays of Mbappe's face connecting with Kevin Danso's shoulder made the whole of Europe collective...
