France defender Pavard admits being 'a little knocked out' against Germany

France defender Benjamin Pavard has admitted he was knocked out for '10 to 15 seconds' during the win over Germany on Tuesday.

Pavard was clattered by Robin Gosens whilst trying to win a header in the box.

"I took a real shock, yeah," Pavard told beIN Sports. "I was a little knocked out for 10, 15 seconds.

"It's true that we came across a good team from Germany, which had possession, but we had a very good game defensively and offensively, and we were united.

"We feel good. Physically, we will gain even more power. It bodes well for the future.

"We defended well collectively. It's a more than positive game. Yes, for sure it's special to win against the Germans. We knew that this first game was important. Now, we will quickly recover because there is the second match which will come quickly in Hungary."
