France struggled more than expected but in the end defeated Romania 2-1 in the middle of the Cesarini area and inaugurated the European Championships with a victory, which they hosted in the midst of a thousand fears and a thousand difficulties.
It was a pearl from Payet in the 89th minute that gave the success to France's Deshamps who previously hadn't shone despite the initial advantage obtained by Giroud who headed into the net a bit foully. Subsequently, the never tamed Romania had managed to equalize on penalty with Stancu.
The debut at the European Championships in the French ranks of the Juventus player Pogba was disappointing, as he probably paid for the excessive pressure not only for the match but also for the rumors that he would be leaving for Real Madrid for a mind-boggling sum (130 million to Juve and 12 a year to him).
