As in France, the sun flies over Germany on Monday, on the eve of the first big shock of Euro 2021 between the Blues and the Mannschaft, in Munich (Tuesday, 9 p.m.).
At the Allianz Arena, renamed Football Arena for the competition, the 26 players summoned by Didier Deschamps set foot on the pitch for the last collective pre-tournament session.
Including the last affected, Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann or Raphaël Varane, as was already the case at Clairefontaine before the departure for Munich, Monday at the end of the morning.

For an hour, the selection of Deschamps prepared for the “duels and engagement” that the coach plans on Tuesday evening.
After a classic warm-up, the Blues first worked against goal, with shots, crosses and a lot of smiles on their faces.
They then continued with a small opposition with three teams.
But there was no specific tactical work with the expected team against Germany.
Except surprise, the eleven aligned against Bulgaria (3-0) should start.
It will therefore be Karim Benzema's first tenure in a major competition since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Real striker, fully recovered from his thigh crutch, will host the attack with Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé.
Behind them, the trio Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kanté, Adrien Rabiot is expected.
Finally, the defense should not move either: Benjamin Pavard, Raphaël Varane, Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez.
All in front of the cage of Captain Hugo Lloris.
Likely composition against Germany.
Lloris - Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe, Hernández - Pogba, Kanté, Rabiot - Griezmann - Mbappe, Benzema.
