In Didier Deschamps' 150th game in charge, France lost 2-0 at home to Germany, setting a series of embarrassing records.
In such a strong conversation, the German team scored with a lightning strike in the opening seven seconds, Kroos sent a long ball, and Wirtz scored his first goal for the national team. Just four minutes into the second half, Musiala crossed back and Havertz pushed home. In the end, France lost 0-2 at home.
In terms of field, France were also on the back foot, with just 58 per cent possession, four fewer shots on goal than their opponents on goal and six fewer shots on target than their opponents with two shots on target.
The defeat at home coincided with a series of embarrassing records for France. First, Wirtz's goal became the fastest goal conceded by France in history, after Robson scored in 27 seconds against England at the 1982 World Cup. It was also the third time in the history of France that they had conceded a goal in the opening minute, and in addition to the goals of Wirtz and Robson, Dutchman Rothter became the player to do so on April 2, 1923.
Secondly, France lost at home for the first time since September 22, 2022. Thirdly, France lost at home to Germany for the first time since February 6, 2013.
Fourthly, France have kept a clean sheet at home to Germany for the first time since November 15, 2014, and the second time in their history that France have kept a clean sheet at home. Fifth, in the last 2 matches against Germany, the French team suffered two consecutive defeats, the first time since 2014 and the fourth in history.
Sixth, France has lost to Germany four times since Didier Deschamps took charge, and Germany has become the team with the most victories against France since Didier Deschamps took charge. France, who have Kylian Mbappe, are seen as the favourites to win the tournament, but two consecutive defeats to Germany have called into question the strength of this team.
