When he first emerged on the scene, Hungary midfielder Laszlo Kleinheisler was dubbed "Scholes" due to his likeness in stature and hair colour to former Manchester United and England midfielder Paul.

Kylian Mbappe is young, very talented and I think during his last five months in Monaco playing Champions League he showed to the world that he is the future for the national team. He is the future for football.

He took an important decision for his career to go to PSG, to play with very talented players. Maybe a club with more pressure but now it's time to see if Paris want to build a project around him or not.

I think for Paris it's better to have Mbappe. But we don't know what is the plan of the player and a lot of big clubs want this player to win the Champions League.

It's been interesting to see some of the drama we have had from France in the build-up. There were some public comments from Olivier Giroud about the fact he was struggling a little bit to score goals because people weren't passing to him.

Kylian Mbappe followed that up by saying he would rather these conversations were had in private rather than out in the open.

Those cracks have been plastered over because France have got off to a winning start at Euro 2020 - and they are expected to win today.

Will Olivier Giroud get on the pitch in Budapest?

There's a really good understanding between Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba.

When you have someone with the vision and the ability of Pogba, they understand each other's games. They know what run and pass the other will make.

When Mbappe gets in that position he's almost impossible to stop.

Hungary

Hungary were in possession 194 times and completed 256 passes against holders Portugal - but were unable to find the net.

That's well below Spain, who in their group game with Sweden, completed 852 passes.

Hungary have still to win a corner at Euro 2020. Will that change against France?

When France played Germany they picked their moments. First half they were on the front foot attacking, but in the second half they were more counter attacking. So it's about being patient because Hungary were very organised in how they set up. It's about waiting for those moments to expose them.

Hungary frustrated Portugal for more than 80 minutes before conceding three late goals on Tuesday night and no doubt they will sit in again here - I don't blame them either.

The huge home crowd will help them, but I still don't think they will keep France out.

Prediction: 0-2

Tactically Hungary have to protect the back. They know France are a very strong team offensively and maybe one of the best in this competition, so they have to be organised. They will park the bus, wait for them and try to have a counter attack and chances to score.

These were the scenes on the streets of Hungary's capital city THREE HOURS before kick-off.

Another massive turnout. Another full house. Another electric atmosphere.

Defensively France seem really solid now in terms of being broken down. Yes, that comes from the midfield but then the expression they have up top with the front free, they're all different in terms of their movement. Overall, the French team are just so strong.

It's not just Hungary fans inside the Puskas Arena. The world champions have some backing too.

Hungary will be whipping boys in this group unfortunately. They made it difficult for Portugal for long periods.

They'll try to keep it tight with men behind the ball today. I'm sure France will have too much quality.

Anything other than a France win would be a big shock.

The big factor for France is the heat. We're expecting temperatures to hit 33C and inside the Puskas Arena it really does get hot. There is no shade and there is no shelter.

Didier Deschamps is concerned about the heat. I was at France training at the Puskas Arena on Friday and saw him going around talking to his players.

A lot of them have changed their meal and drinking plans to counter the heat.

After the 2018 World Cup, there is always focus on this France team.

What is impressive is year on year there are new players coming in. It is not easy for the coach to take a decision on a squad like this.

They have the objective to win this tournament.

Hungary fans have really got behind their team at Euro 2020.

Budapest is the only host city of the 11 at the tournament to have near capacity crowds at matches.

Against Portugal, there were more than 50,000 inside the Puskas Arena, while tens of thousands more took to the streets of Budapest to show their support.

Today the front three will have to click. Against Germany we saw glimpses, but today it is their game, that is why Benzema is here.

Against teams that play so deep with tight spaces, France have struggled a little bit in the past. Benzema is the king in that environment.

France

As a team, France covered 109 kilometres in their opening group win over Germany - the same distance Hungary managed when losing to Portugal.

Les Bleus attempted 438 passes against Germany and completed 371 - a passing accuracy of 85%. However, of the six crosses they attempted only one was completed.

Does Rossi have a bucket to sit on during games as well?

Hungary

Hungary boss Marco Rossi played under Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa in Mexico at Club America in the 1995-96.

"He [Bielsa] had a private office in the sports centre where he would watch football games on VHS night and day," says Italian Rossi.

"I hope I have learned something from him. After games I can't sleep, so I generally watch two or three matches of our next opponent to prepare."
