Euro 2024: France favourites but must stay patient, says Patrice Evra

Hindustan Times  

Former France and Manchester United captain Patrice Evra believes the Les Bleus are the favourites to win the UEFA European Championships. “It’s a no-brainer that France are the favourites,” said Evra during an interaction organised by broadcaster Sony Sports. So, we just have to be patient, not get frustrated and wait for the right time to hurt the opponent.” France last won the title in 2000, and lost the 2016 final to Portugal. Germany were knocked out in the Round of 16 in the last Euros and couldn’t get past the group stage in the last two World Cups.
