Robert Pires – Euro Championship
Robert Pires won Euro Championship with France in 2000. Also, he played at the 2004 Euro Championship.

Champion
France of course. They have a very good squad with a lot of players who have had a lot of success this season in their domestic leagues and various Cup competitions. They also have great experience of winning games in tournaments. So yes, for me France are clear favourites, but you need to watch Germany who are at home, England have a very good squad and maybe, just maybe this is their time and other top nations like Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and holland will be very difficult to beat. Croatia always do well also.

Top scorer
For me it’s between two players, Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane.

Kane will for sure score goals, but I think it will be Kylian again, he is playing well and will be very happy after his big move. Also Oliver Giroud my good friend will always find a way to score in this France team and Lukaku for Belgium is very strong and always scores at tournaments. These will be his main competitors but I am certain Kylian will be number 1.

I am looking forward to seeing Saka and Bellingham for England, Tony Kroos in his last games will be great to see, Luka Modric of course, I really like Musiala and Wirtz from Germany. Camavinga will be very high on confidence and will be driving France forward, Cody Gapko and Xavi Simons will be ones to watch from Holland, Portugal has a great squad with Ronaldo at the front. Gavi and Pedri for Spain will be ready I am sure to step up for the big games.
