France are in Group I alongside Senegal, Norway, Algeria. Under coach Didier Deschamps.
Strengths
Arguably the strongest squad on paper. Mbappe at his peak, Griezmann as the orchestrator, Dembele and Coman on the wings. Defensive quality through Saliba, Upamecano, Theo Hernandez. Deschamps is the most experienced tournament coach.
