France wrapped up their successful Euro 2020 qualification campaign with a routine 2-0 win away to Albania in Didier Deschamps’ 100th game in charge, with Antoine Griezmann playing a vital role as Les Bleus secured top spot in Group H.
With Turkey – who defeated Andorra 2-0 on Sunday – still in the hunt to finish at the summit, France knew a victory would ensure they won the group and there rarely looked to be any danger of the hosts claiming a famous victory.
Griezmann, much-maligned at club level with Barcelona, was central to France’s success, setting up Corentin Tolisso’s headed opener before coolly slotting home their second.
