"The pressure will be different at the tournament, but France have a good chance to win the trophy.

"A word of caution for my country, England will also be there. I think they look really strong, and I expect them to do well at the tournament. If France want to become European champions, then they will have to beat England.

"It would be amazing to see a final between France and England. The atmosphere would be incredible – if that is the final, then I need a ticket!

"I must see that game because I know what the English fans will bring! It would be a special match."
