France are through to the knockout stage of Euro 2020 as group winners after drawing 2-2 with Portugal on Wednesday evening, with FC Bayern players Corentin Tolisso, Lucas Hernández (both starting) and Kingsley Coman (subbed on after 66 minutes) all featuring. The World Cup winners therefore finish first in Group F with five points, ahead of Germany (4), Portugal (4) and Hungary (2). The French will play Switzerland (third in Group A) in the round of 16 next Monday (28 June) at 21.00 CEST in Bucharest.
