BUDAPEST (Reuters) - France are eager to use their final Group F match against Portugal in Budapest on Wednesday to boost their confidence before they advance to the knockout stage of the European championship, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris said.

France, who lost to Portugal in the Euro 2016 final, are already through to the last 16 and will finish first in the group if they win, or if they draw and Germany fail to beat Hungary in the group's other match on Wednesday.
