An eventful entry into the competition.

The French team, the reigning world champion, won 1-0 against Germany on Tuesday night in Munich.

The only goal of this spectacular and committed match was scored by German defender Mats Hummels against his camp, on a cross from French Lucas Hernandez (20th).

The evening was marked by several incidents, such as the unexpected arrival of a Greenpeace activist above the stadium in a microlight which almost crashed into the stand - he landed by parachute on the lawn of the stadium.

Shortly before half-time, defender Antonio Rüdiger, who had promised to "just be dirty" during the competition, pretended to bite Paul Pogba in the back.

As for the audiences, the match was a great success, accumulating more than 15 million viewers, or 57.5% of the public.

After this epic meeting, France, whose performance has been praised by the European press, will face Hungary in Budapest next Saturday at 3 p.m.
