Antoine Griezmann: Hungarian fans influenced France in 1-1 Euro 2020 draw

The Hindu  

World champion France struggled to impose itself in its 1-1 Euro 2020 draw against Hungary on Saturday in part due to facing a hostile crowd for the first time in months, goal-scorer Antoine Griezmann said. France rescued a point after Griezmann cancelled out Attila Fiola's first-half strike in front of a loud, 65,000-strong crowd at the Puskas Arena -- one of the biggest at a game in Europe since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. France remains top of the group, but heavyweights Germany and Portugal were also playing on Saturday in one of the toughest groups in the tournament. Karim Benzema missed an early chance to give France the lead and the Real Madrid striker -- who returned to the national team last month after a five-year exile -- is yet to score in four matches.
