World Cup winners France beat Germany 2-1 in Group A1 of the Nations League on Tuesday night, thanks to an Antoine Griezmann double in the second half, after Toni Kroos had given Germany the lead.
The world champions earned a slim victory thanks to a late penalty at the Stade de France, as Didier Deschamps' slightly underwhelming side heaped more misery onto the Germans, who have just one competitive win in 2018.
In the 14th minute, Germany were given a golden opportunity to take a surprise lead against the World Cup winners. A Leroy Sané cross struck the arm of Paris Saint Germain's Presnel Kimpembe, giving Joachim Löwe's side a penalty.
