The Spanish team overcame France in an exciting semi-final to win the right to reach the Euro 2024 final after 12 years.

The Euro 2024 semi-final match between Spain and France is a duel between the strongest attack from the beginning of the tournament (Spain – 11 goals) and the best defense (France – only lost 1 goal).

It was only the 9th minute of the match, while the ball was still busy rolling under the feet of the French players on the left wing of the Spanish team, Mbappe with a cunning move on the right wing caused Jesus Navas to foul. Two mistakes in a row.

The first mistake was that the red shirt defender allowed the French captain to widen the gap with him, and the second mistake was to retreat too deep, allowing Mbappe to successfully break the offside trap and successfully receive a pass on the wing.

Stabbing one more time into the opponent’s armpit, the French superstar launched a beautiful pass that found Kolo Muani’s head. The Spanish net shook in surprise. 1-0 for Mbappe and his teammates.

After inspirational goals from Mbappe and Kolo Muani, the next ten minutes witnessed the explosion of the French team with extremely confident play, continuously putting enemy Unai Simon’s goal on alert. .

Removing the mask seems to help Mbappe play more elegantly. He constantly made it difficult for Spain’s right-back Jesus Navas.

But Spain still has a star who won’t turn 17 in a few days, and promises to have memorable confrontations with Mbappe in “super classic” matches next season in the Barcelona club shirt – Lamine Yamal.

In the 21st minute, receiving the ball at a distance of about 25 meters, the young Barca had two consecutive hip shakes, causing the French defense to stagger before launching a rainbow shot.

Taking the ball from the right wing, cutting into the middle and finishing extremely dangerously with his left foot, Yamal did not give goalkeeper Maignan a chance to block.

With the goal scored at the age of 16 years and 362 days, Lamine Yamal officially surpassed “King of Football” Pele (17 years and 239 days) to become the youngest scorer in the history of the Euro and World Cup.

“Reviving” after minutes of being pressured by their opponents, Spain only needed 4 more minutes to score their second goal. In the 25th minute, after Jesus Navas’s cross was cleared by the French centre-back, it was Dani Olmo’s turn to shake the ball, causing the French defense to wobble before launching a cross-angle shot from close range, sending the ball into the net. Central defender Kounde’s foot bounced straight into the net. Another stunning goal from Spain, pushing France into a difficult chase.

The face of the match changed completely. The Spanish team actively controlled the ball and maintained a moderate pace. While the French team was forced to rise high to find an equalizer.

In a deadlocked match, coach Deschamps made three consecutive changes. Griezmann, Camavinga and Barcola were brought onto the field.

However, the Spanish defense played focused and gave the French strikers almost no chance to threaten the goal.

In a rare opportunity in the 86th minute, Mbappe shot the ball over the crossbar in his natural shooting position.

The biggest mark of this half was Lamine Yamal’s dangerous left-footed finish that sent the ball over the bar in the final minutes of the match.

The Spanish team celebrates their ticket to the Euro 2024 final. This is the 5th time they have appeared in the final match of Europe’s most prestigious tournament for the national team. In the previous 4 times, Spain was crowned champion 3 times.
