While bemoaning France's lack of luck in Sunday's Euro 2016 final defeat to Portugal, disappointed midfielder Moussa Sissoko said his team-mates will come back stronger.
Host France was unable to make it over the final hurdle in its bid for a third European Championship crown at the Stade de France, stunned 1-0 by Portugal after extra time in Paris.
Speaking afterwards, Sissoko said: "There is a lot of disappointment and sadness in the locker room because we did play a very good match.
"We had a lot of chances, we showed some great things in the game. Football is like that, we can show beautiful things and lose. We must digest this big disappointment, we really wanted to win this competition.
"It was a great adventure, a great competition at home . Our public has always been behind us. We lacked a bit of luck, we must accept it, we have no choice. We'll have to come back even stronger."
