Nations League LIVE - Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise seal third-place finish for France against Germany

Digne concedes a free-kick for a foul on Adeyemi and is booked for his troubles.

Adeyemi cuts inside onto his left foot and bends a shot straight at Maignan.

France cannot get out of their own half. It's been all Germany so far.

Adeyemi and Fullkrug are starting for the home side today and they have looked dangerous early on.

Fulkrug's shot is then cleared by Digne on the goal-line! Goretzka then has a shot charged down.

Bright start fromthe Germans.

Fullkrug threads it through to Woltemade whose effort is saved by Maignan off his line. The ball falls to Gross eventually and he misses the target.

An array of attacking talent on show today. All French eyes will be on Rayan Cherki, making his first start for his country. The Lyon man has been linked with a move to Man City.

We are underway in Stuttgart.

Five minutes until kick-off!

We will go straight to penalties if the 90 minutes ends all-square.
