FRANCE RATINGS: Hugo Lloris 7 - Little to do in the first half for the oldest player as his side dominated. France’s captain was far busier in the second but came out at the right time to stop Gnabry with Germany’s best chance. Poor kick to Gosens put his team under pressure but survived a tough opening match. EPA

Benjamin Pavard 7 - Dutiful right back. Combined well with Kante in 15th minute France attack. Smashed the ground on the hour; looked out cold. But picked himself up and continued to play. More tackles than any other player. EPA

Raphael Varane 8 - Very comfortable as he won his duels on the ground and in the air. Made key interceptions and needed to be on top of his game in the second half as Germany, roared on by the Munich crowd, were much involved. Excellent. AP

Paul Pogba 8 - Headed 15th minute Griezmann corner over. Tried the most difficult passes, even when surrounded by players and one, to Hernandez with the outside of his foot, came off which led to France’s opener. Appeared to be bitten by Rudiger. Protected ball as he battled with Kroos, but still managed to play key balls to Mbappe. Not the same level in second half but still top class and deserved to be named man of the match. AFP

Kylian Mbappe 8 - Shot on target after 16 minutes was France’s best effort until the goal – which he was primed to score until Hummels did it for him.

The magic will come. EPA

A Mats Hummels own goal secured France a 1-0 victory over Germany as the world champions made a winning start to their Euro 2020 campaign in Munich.

Hummels turned the ball into his own net in the 20th minute and France also had Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema second-half goals ruled offside, while Adrien Rabiot hit the post for Les Bleus.

"It was a clash that could have been a semi-final or a final, so to take three points was important," said France coach Didier Deschamps.

"We played a big game against a very good German team, but we were up to the level and this victory does us good."

The result leaves France second on goal difference in the early Group F table behind Portugal, after the holders' 3-0 win over Hungary earlier in Budapest.

The home defeat piles the pressure on Germany ahead of their next game against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal on Saturday, also at the Allianz Arena.

Who has been sanctioned?

Daniella Weiss and Nachala
Described as 'the grandmother of the settler movement', she has encouraged the expansion of settlements for decades. The 79 year old leads radical settler movement Nachala, whose aim is for Israel to annex Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where it helps settlers built outposts.

Harel Libi & Libi Construction and Infrastructure
Libi has been involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinians. His firm has provided logistical and financial support for the establishment of illegal outposts.

Zohar Sabah
Runs a settler outpost named Zohar’s Farm and has previously faced charges of violence against Palestinians. He was indicted by Israel’s State Attorney’s Office in September for allegedly participating in a violent attack against Palestinians and activists in the West Bank village of Muarrajat.

Coco’s Farm and Neria’s Farm
These are illegal outposts in the West Bank, which are at the vanguard of the settler movement. According to the UK, they are associated with people who have been involved in enabling, inciting, promoting or providing support for activities that amount to “serious abuse”.
