  • 90'
    FULL TIME: GERMANY 0 - 0 FRANCE - The second half was an improvement, however there is no escaping the fact that that was an incredibly dull game. The main talking point was the debut of PSG goalkeeper Areola, the young keeper made a string of fine saves to keep the game level.

    SAVE: Another good stop from the debutante Areola - to deny Muller's overhit cross. The resulting corner forces another strong save to Deny Ginter from close range - quality save.

    Fekir is getting ready to come on for Les Bleus.
  • 72 '
    It's Gundagon's turn to have a go at goal - his effort is blazed over the bar.
  • 71 '
    CHANCES: Hummels has three attempts at the French goal, however Areola is on form again and again to keep the Bayern Munich defender out - he then lifts his arms aloft in a gesture to get the crowd going - the game is opening up a little bit.

    SAVE: Good stop from Neuer to keep out Griezmann from range.
  • 63'
    It looks like Gundogan will be the change for Germany, he's getting warmed-up on the bench.
  • 59'
    Low looks like he's ready to make the first few changes of the night for Germany, different to traditional friendlies - the UEFA Nations League matches only permit 3 substitutions.
  • 56 '
    Corner comes to nothing, well defended by the French defenders.
  • 56 '

  • 45'
    SECOND HALF: GERMANY 0 - 0 FRANCE, we're back underway here in Munich. Hopefully, the second half is a lot better than the first...
  • 45'
    Honestly not a lot to report back with after that first half, hopefully the second is an improvement.
  • 45'
    HALF TIME: GERMANY 0 - FRANCE 0 - the referee brings an end to a very dull half in the UEFA Nations League, has more intensity than a friendly, however both teams lacked any clear chances and quality in the final third.
  • 45'
    Two minutes of additional time here in Munich.
  • 45'
    Simple save by Areola to keep out Ruddiger.
  • 43'
    Wasteful from Griezmann - he misplaces a simple pass and kills France's build-up play.
  • 42 '
    Mbappe will take the resulting free kick...Mbappe's effort is at a comfortable height for Neuer as the Germany captain is forced into making a routine save.
  • 41'
    Free kick for France is Paul Pogba is upended 25 yards out of Neuer's goal.
  • 35 '
    SAVE: First of the first half too, Neuer gets down well to his right to save Giroud's header. Hopefully the game will come to life in the second half.
  • 34 '
    CLOSE: (ish) With a first half with chances few and far between Matts Hummels' header is the best chance of the first half. The Bayern Munich defender was unable to keep his header down as it goes over the French bar.
  • 30'
    France agree with my expert analysis...
  • 26'
    Cagey start to the game here, neither sides wants to commit too many men forward, so the game has become slightly nervy.
  • 23'
