Euro 2016 Final : 5 things we learnt as Portugal beat France
4) Lack of a true world class striker hurt France !
Gignac had the chance to win the Euro with the last kick of the 90 minutes. But instead of hitting the back of the net he smashed the post. As a French fan you just got the feeling that had a certain Karim Benzema been in that position, France would have won the match.

As an Arsenal fan, Giroud’s performance in the Euros has not been surprising. He has been good but not great with his best match coming against Iceland. But when it matters the most against the likes of Germany and Portugal, he came up short. Gignac is no better. In hindsight maybe Benzema should have been selected.
