That’s it!
France take third place in this edition of the Uefa Nations League.
Germany were the better side in the first half and were unfortunate to trail, but France were lethal on the break in the second half.
Irrelevant saying what England would learn playing these teams as we didn’t qualify for the event. We always get easy qualifying groups, but over the years we’ve made it harder to qualify. Opposition is stepping up, but we seem to lack an urgency in most games and that stops us qualifying for the big games we miss out on.

Barring a miracle, Germany are going to lose back-to-back Nations League games for the first time in almost seven years.

With the form Deniz Undav has been in at club level you would expect that to nestle into the back of the net.
Niclas Fullkrug just runs through it.
It is not Germany’s day.
Change for France as Marcus Thuram is replaced by Mattéo Guendouzi for the six minutes of stoppage time.
That sums things up for Germany.
Germany produce a lovely move, Gnabry cushions a square ball across the face of goal only for Deniz Undav and Nicals Fullkrug to get in each other’s way.

France’s depth in attack is unparalleled, when you can bring on Olise and Doue as substitutes. Phew!

Germany skipper Joshua Kimmich tries to salvage something but his low effort from the edge of the box is comfortably saved by Mike Maignan.

Devastating for these German fans.
Michael Olise running alongside Kylian Mbappe made the option quite evident.
A mix-up between Jonathan Tah and Robin Koch – it puts it on a plate for Mbappe.

Olise finishes the job for Les Blues!
Kylian Mbappe pounces on a mix-up between Jonathan Tah and Robin Kock and has the whole of the German half to run into.
Just as he looks set to finish past Ter Stegen, Mbappe squares to Olise who passes into the empty net.
Fin.
Another save from Ter Stegen – this time Kylian Mbappe breazes past defender Robin Kock but fires straight at the goalkeeper when one-on-one.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen that is a stunning save.
Desire Doue picks out an unmarked Mbappe at the edge of the box, the Real Madrid man hits a vicious volley towards the bottom corner but Ter Stegen somehow keeps it out.
Great stuff all round.
Karim Adeyemi plays a simple pass straight out of play and is immediately replaced by Serge Gnabry.
It’s been a mixed afternoon for Adeyemi – lots of threat but little end product.
Referee with strong Dietmar Hamann vibes.

Re. Paul at 15:23 – England beat Andorra 0-1. Hardly pointless, shows us exactly England’s level.

Re. Paul – Yeah, we’d get absolutely battered by all of them.

French youngster Desire Doue lashes a strike towards the bottom corner but Ter Stegen it equal to it.

A great save from Andre ter Stegen.
Marcus Thuram takes it first time and Ter Stegen does just enough.
The runs of Desire Doue, Kylian Mbappe along the German backline create that space.
Another German change as Thilo Kehrer comes on in place of former Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross.
France race forwards yet again, but Ter Stegen gets down low to tip Marcus Thuram’s placed effort wide of the post.

Kylian Mbappe scored his 50th international goal as France beat Nations League hosts Germany in their third-place play-off.
The captain finished well for the 45th-minute opener following a pass from Real Madrid team-mate Aurelien Tchouameni.
And Mbappe set up the second goal six minutes from time when he pounced on a mistake from Robin Koch and unselfishly squared the ball for Michael Olise to slot into the empty net.
Germany had their chances, though, with both a penalty award and goal overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR).
First Karim Adeyemi was awarded a spot-kick after being brought down by France keeper Mike Maignan, but the Germany forward was instead booked for diving after a VAR check.
And then Deniz Undav’s effort was disallowed after Niclas Fullkrug was deemed to have fouled Adrien Rabiot in the build-up.
Adeyemi also had three shots saved by Chelsea target Maignan, while Florian Wirtz struck a post.
But France could have added to their goal haul in Stuttgart too. Marcus Thuram’s curling strike hit the post, while Mbappe missed the target several times and forced a great save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany have now failed to win in three games, including Wednesday’s semi-final defeat by Portugal.
Spain, who beat France 5-4 in their last-four tie, and Portugal play in the final later on Sunday (20:00 BST) in Munich.
