France coach Didier Deschamps has admitted that his team did not do enough in Sunday’s Euro 2016 final.
Despite dominating possession against Portugal and creating many more chances, France lost 1-0 to an extra-time Eder goal in Paris.
“I have to congratulate Portugal,” Deschamps told the media in his post-match press conference.
“Clearly we had our opportunities and we weren’t clinical enough.”
France had seven shots on target, but substitue Eder’s only shot of the match settled the final and gave Portugal their first-ever senior title.
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was taken off injured midway into the first half, but his absence made no difference as Fernando Santos’ team stunned the hosts.
