Barcelona trio called into France squad for Euro 2020

Barcelona trio Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, and Clement Lenglet have all been called up to the France squad for this summer’s European Championship.

Didier Deschamps has named an incredibly strong squad for the tournament and has caused a stir by also calling up Karim Benzema for the first time in almost six years.

Benzema has not played for his country since allegedly being involved in a sex tape blackmail plot involving former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena.

The Real Madrid striker also had a bit of a pop at Olivier Giroud fairly recently which also adds a bit more spice to his inclusion.
