World champions and European heavyweights France will look to extend their dominance in World football as they have their eyes set on Euro 2020.&nbsp;'Les Bleus' have an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of that 2000-Euro winning side, which&nbsp;claimed the 1998 World Cup on home soil two years before.
Interestingly, the man who captained both those sides,&nbsp;Didier Deschamps, has been France's boss since 2012 and has converted them into a cohesive unit. After World Cup glory in 2018, he can secure the second international double of his career this year.&nbsp;
Moreover, France by far has the best squad in the world in terms of talent.&nbsp;Their core of 2018&rsquo;s team is intact with the likes of&nbsp;Paul Pogba,&nbsp;Antoine Griezmann,&nbsp;Kylian Mbappe&nbsp;and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. They also boast the attacking talent of&nbsp;Karim Benzema, who is returning to the French squad after nearly 6 years.
2016 runners-up, France, have had a decent run at the tournament having won it twice in 1984 and 2000. They are also part of the group of death which is Group F, along with&nbsp;Germany, Portugal and Hungary.
The team, in particular,&nbsp;will keep an eye on neighbours Portugal, after Deschamps' side lost the Euro 2016 final in Paris to Cristiano&nbsp;Ronaldo's men.

Euro 2020 is just around the corner and the 16th edition will see a few firsts which promise to make this a landmark event. Here are 5 of those interesting facts about the tournament which was delayed by a year.
Number of teams - 24
There will be&nbsp;24&nbsp;nations at Euro 2020. As the finals are being played across Europe, there is no host nation. The top 2 teams in each group qualified automatically, meaning there were 20 places up for grabs from the 10 groups.
VAR: 1st appearance&nbsp;at Euros
For the first time in history, Video Assistant Referee will used in the UEFA European championship.&nbsp;This technology, criticized and analysed by all football supporters around the world, helps the referee and his fellow match officials&nbsp;in moments of doubt&nbsp;and it is able to correct mistakes that may have been made.
11 nations, 11 hosts
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the tournament, UEFA planned to organize Euro 2020 at multiple locations. The tournament will be hosted in 11 cities across 11 of Europe&rsquo;s best-loved stadiums.
The Wembley to host Semis and final
The Wembley Stadium in London will host the semi-final and final for the second time in under 25 years. Interestingly, the matches at&nbsp;Wembley are likely to have full capacity.
Strict&nbsp;Covid-19 Protocols

As top football teams of Europe lock horns for supremacy at the Euro 2020, some of the biggest football stars would be eager to showcase their skill sets. Here are the top 5 stars who are&nbsp;expected to shine&nbsp;
Phil Foden &ndash; England
At number 5 is&nbsp;&nbsp;Manchester City maestro&nbsp;Phil Foden. Fresh from a Champions League final heartbreak, the&nbsp;midfielder would be eager for success. He enjoyed a very successful campaign in the Premier League as well.
Romelu Lukaku
Belgium&rsquo;s squad is loaded with super talent and phenomenal goalscoring power and leading the pack is Romelu&nbsp;Lukaku. He was Belgium's top goalscorer in the qualifying and found the back of the net 7 times.
Karim Benzema
Though there are some big players on display at the Euros but Karim&nbsp;Benzema&nbsp;is expected to attract most eyeballs. The attacking striker is in red-hot form and is returning to France's national team after nearly 6 years.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma&nbsp;will have big gloves to fill as he replaces the legendary&nbsp;Gianluigi Buffon&nbsp;in Italy's squad.&nbsp;At 22, goalkeeper Donnarumma is already a veteran, having been playing first-team football for years.&nbsp;
Cristiano Ronaldo
One man who dominates almost every football list is Cristiano&nbsp;Ronaldo. Portugal's&nbsp;all-time top scorer with 36 goals, Ronaldo&nbsp;scored 11 times during the qualifiers. His form will be key for the defending champions as Ronaldo has the ability to carry his team on his own.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Following their shock absence from the 2018 FIFA&nbsp;World Cup, Italy will have a point to prove as they have their eyes set on the European Championship. A flawless qualifying campaign saw them reach 11 consecutive victories as they join Turkey, Wales and Switzerland in Group A.
After failing to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, senior players like Buffon, Barzagli, Danielle de Rossi announced their retirement from international football. Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was then appointed as their manager with&nbsp;Giorgio Chiellini&nbsp;leading the pack.
In his 3 years with the Italian national team, Mancini has given an international debut to more than 30 players.&nbsp;With a very talented squad, most eyeballs will be on Gianluigi Donnarumma who will have big gloves to fill as he replaces the legendary&nbsp;Gianluigi Buffon.
Gli Azzurri would also be determined to improve a not so good record at the Euros, having won the championship just once way back in 1968. They have ended as runners-up twice and have reached the knock-outs 7 times.
From failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup to become a top European force, Italy has come a long way. And with the perfect balance of experience and youth, this Italian team has the perfect opportunity to win their 2nd title at the Euros.

Indian football team captain Sunil&nbsp;Chhetri&nbsp;added yet another feather to an already illustrious cap, as he went past&nbsp;Lionel Messi's tally of international goals. Chhetri's&nbsp;brace against Bangladesh in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFC Asian Cup joint qualifiers on Monday, helped India beat the neighbours&nbsp;2-0.
His twin strike took his international goal tally to&nbsp;74 from 117 matches, which is the second most in the world now&nbsp;among active footballers. The tally is headed by Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo with 103 goals from 174 games.&nbsp;
The result in Doha on Monday also helped India end its 11-match winless streak and boost their chances of earning a direct spot in the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Despite a long and rich history in the competition, Netherlands head into the summer looking for their first win in a European Championship game since 2008. Oranje

Despite a long and rich history in the competition, the Netherlands head into the summer looking for their first win in a European Championship game since 2008.&nbsp;Oranje, as they are fondly called, would have a point to prove as they are coming into the tournament having failed to qualify for the 2016 edition and&nbsp;subsequently missing out on the 2018 World Cup spot as well.
But the Dutch have been on a roll lately and qualified for the event with just 1 defeat from 8 games. They are placed in Group C along with Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia.&nbsp;
Frank de Boer&nbsp;replaced Barcelona-bound former team-mate Ronald Koeman in September 2020 as&nbsp;Netherlands boss.&nbsp;
The Oranje have plenty of squad depth but much of the attacking burden falls on the powerful Lyon forward&nbsp;Memphis Depay. However, the one to watch out for would be&nbsp;Frenkie de Jong, who has become a regular presence on the international stage, with 25 caps to date.
Netherlands&rsquo; hopes though took a major blow after Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk ruled himself out of the competition due to an&nbsp;injury.
Apart from winning the competition once, the Dutch have never reached the final. They have, however, made it to the knockouts 7 times.
The Dutch would be eager to put their&nbsp;longest absence from major finals since the mid-1980s aside and would try and win their first Euro title since 1988.
