BUCHAREST, June 29 ― France captain Hugo Lloris admitted the world champions were punished for their failure to hold on to a two-goal lead as they lost 5-4 on penalties to Switzerland in the last 16 at Euro 2020.
Switzerland fought back as Haris Seferovic netted his second of the game before Mario Gavranovic equalised for 3-3 to force extra time, with Kylian Mbappe missing the only penalty in the shootout.“The only regret we can have is that at 3-1 we need to manage the match better. We've been able to close it out in the past few years.”
“As France and reigning world champions, to be knocked out in the last 16 is not a good result. Everyone was expecting more, starting with us.”
