I Imagine the drawing is from the UEFA 2016 match, where France ended up winning 2-0, given the date in the lower corner. That year also marked the centennial of the Battle of Verdun, which lasted from February to December 1916, the longest one of the war. Still as relevant as ever.

The image is a callback to the famous photo of Kohl and Mitterrand at Verdun in the 80s: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/002A/production/\_96524000\_hi040089719.jpg
