The two Real Madrid players contributed significantly to their national team’s three-point win in their European Championship opener.

Mbappé and Camavinga helped France defeat Austria in their European Championship opening at the Espirit Arena in Düsseldorf. The striker started the game and his cross set up the winning goal, while the midfielder came on in the second half.

France had the upper hand in the first half, creating the most clear-cut opportunities. Their perseverance paid off shortly before halftime. In the 37th minute, Wöber’s own goal while attempting to clear Mbappé’s cross gave France the lead. In the second half, France pressed for a second goal. Mbappé found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but his shot went wide. Camavinga replaced Rabiot in the 70th minute, but Mbappé was forced to leave late due to a nose injury.
