Benjamin Pavard admits his France side will be among the favourites at Euro 2024, but warns that Luciano Spalletti’s Italy ‘must not be underestimated.

Pavard, a fresh Serie A title champion with Inter, spoke to Repubblica about the upcoming Euros.

“We know we are among the favourites. We have a great team and a great coach, but we must not put too much pressure on ourselves,” he admitted.

“We’ve played in big competitions, learning from good and bad moments. Now I must play well in the last Inter games, hoping Deschamps will call me up.”

What’s his take on Italy?

“It must not be underestimated. Spalletti is very good and he did well at Napoli. He has great footballers, some of whom play with me at Inter.”
