Germany botched the European Championship opener against France.
How was the game seen in Europe?
The international press reviews.
Munich - Bitter evening for the DFB * -Elf!
At the start of the 2021 European Championship, Germany lost to world champions France 0-1.
The team of national coach Jogi Löw was by far not as inferior as some "experts" feared.
Germany played quite well against the highly traded tournament favorites - but it lacked punch and in the decisive scene Mats Hummels lost the overview.
His own goal brought the French victory.
Ironically, Hummels returned, who let the Germans cheer with his header goal in 2014 - at that time they won 1-0 in the World Cup quarter-finals.
What followed is well known.
