VIDEO: Toni Kroos can't help laughing as Arsenal star Kai Havertz has foot run over by car before Germany's statement win over France

Just ahead of kickoff, the match ball was delivered to the centre circle and into the hands of Havertz by a remote-controlled miniature car. As the Arsenal forward picked the ball up, the car rolled away accidentally, running over his foot. Havertz seemed shocked for a second and Kroos couldn't help but laugh at the incident that unfolded in front of him.

Just seconds after the incident, the game began and Germany managed to put the ball into France's goal after a delightful kick-off routine, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/florian-wirtz-piledriver-germany-seven-seconds-france-toni-kroos-assisting-international-return/blt324d47fe7458566c" target="_blank">Florian Wirtz smashing one home after just seven seconds</a>.
