For his part, the tricolor captain Hugo Lloris put more emphasis on the regrets, and in particular on the failed performance of the Tricolors for 75 minutes. “Unfortunately, we were too reactive in this final. It was almost a boxing match, we went blow for blow. The only regret we can have is to have completely missed our first half. But despite that, we believed in it until the end. (…) It is always cruel to be on the wrong side but I believe that we will have given everything from start to finish in this competition“Concluded the last tricolor rampart.
