The final will see France play Portugal.

Les Bleus seeking their first continental title in 16 years -- the Seleccao have never claimed a major tournament.

The match is also seen as a battle between France top scorer Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo. So how do the sides stack up?

In the FIFA rankings, France are 17th, Portugal 8th.

The hosts for this one have a distinct advantage in their match-ups winning 18 of 24 encounters, losing five, there was 1 draw. Since 1975, the French have won 8-straight against Portugal.

And at major tournaments, Les Bleus are three-and-oh, picking up wins at Euro 1984, and Euro 2000, and also grabbed a win at the 2006 World Cup. All those occurring in the semi-finals.
