Day three of my European Championship journey and I was back to watching live football as we headed to PSG’s Parc des Princes for the Group A game between Switzerland and Romania, before spending the evening soaking up the incredible atmosphere of a French game in the Eiffel Tower fanzone.
On the first day of my visit to Euro 2016 I attended my first ever live match at a major international tournament – heading to the Stade de France to watch Republic of Ireland face Sweden in their Group E opener.
England defeated France 2-0 on a poignant and memorable evening at Wembley Stadium.
Dele Alli’s first ever England goal opened the scoring before all-time scorer and captain Wayne Rooney secured the victory early in the second half.
But the result was secondary as the 129 victims of last week’s Paris attacks were honoured in a touching show of solidarity between the two nations.
On 27th-31st July, I made my first ever visit to Paris. The French capital is a city I had always wanted to go to and this trip was an unforgettable experience!
