Kylian Mbappé scored a goal and provided an assist for Michael Olise to lead France to a 2-0 victory over Germany in the UEFA Nations League third-place match on Sunday.
The Real Madrid player opened the scoring with a powerful shot from inside the penalty area in first-half stoppage time.
Deniz Undav thought he had equalized in the second half with a powerful shot amid protests from the French players, who called for a foul following a challenge by Niklas Füllkrug on Adrien Rabiot. After consulting the video assistant referee (VAR), the referee ruled the goal out.
In the 84th minute, Olise doubled the lead from close range, tapping in a cross from Mbappé, who had raced from midfield after taking advantage of a long pass from the German defense.
France lost 5-4 to defending champions Spain in the semi-finals, while Germany lost 2-1 to Portugal.
The final will be played on Sunday, starting at 8:00 PM, between Spain and Portugal.
