France
L’Equipe: “Destroyed! The disappointment of Mbappé. Mbappé is contrite after his missed penalty in the social networks. Les Bleus were crucified. An unbelievable bankruptcy, triggered by lost durability and a daring lineup. A fantastic game, a huge bust, a huge disappointment. France-Switzerland was all that and much more. “
Ouest France: “The sad crash of a world champion. A completely crazy game in which Les Bleus were far too weak on the defensive. Lloris innocent, Benzema innocent, Mbappé went through hell. It’s all over already. An enormous disagreement. The game was breathtaking, however Les Bleus just chattered about their game rules and were sent home by an average Swiss. “
Liberation: “A flop! France has to go home after a great game. Didier Deschamps and his team screwed up the European Championship. A Woodstock of football. An incredible sequence of freedoms for two teams that seemed separated by success, recognition and the importance of their players celebrated a high mass of football, in which the French also had their share. “
Le Monde: “Les Bleus Lost their minds against Switzerland and lost their qualifications. An epic round of 16, but poorly controlled. Bucharest terminus. You also have to question Didier Deschamps, who had games tried out in four four tactical systems. “
Le figaro: “A game for the ages and eternal regrets for Les Bleus. In an unearthly game they said goodbye to the EM on Monday. There are games that will be remembered years later, but it is also true that the French left this EM through the servants’ exit. “
Le Parisien: “It’s like a slap in the face, a huge disappointment. As so often since 2016 sent us Les Bleus into the street, wrapped in blue, singing the hits of the summer. Bringing back Karim Benzema, who forms the best storm in the world with Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, had blinded us. And now they are returning home, without a trophy, with their heads hanging. They weren’t really a team anymore. In order to become one again by the World Cup in eighteen months, the coach – if he stays – has to reinvent himself and her (the team); an insane challenge. “

View: “Blick:” Liberté, Egalité, quarter-finals. Senate! “
Day indicator: “A spectacle until the grandiose end. What kind of an evening is it. What a game. What a performance by the Swiss team! And above all: What kind of an end is it!”
The New Zurich Times: “The win against France proves that the Swiss coach is right – for his trust in leading players like Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Haris Seferović, in this structure and this hierarchy, in this offensive strategy and in this mentality, which has often been questioned. “
