In the Euro 2024 semifinals, France and Spain clash, with the victor likely becoming the favorite in the final against England or the Netherlands. Despite Spain's dominant performance, winning all five games, missing key players like Pedri, Carvajal, and Le Normand may pose a challenge. On the other hand, France has struggled, relying on own-goals and penalties for goals. The match sees Spain leading 2-1 at halftime, with goals from 16-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal and an own goal against France. Jesus Navas, 38, starts for Spain in place of Dani Carvajal. Kylian Mbappe, struggling with form and injury, aims to deliver for France. Spain's 'beautiful spectacle' style clashes with France's pragmatic approach. Despite injury setbacks, Spain's Yamal shines, while France coach Deschamps keeps tactical plans under wraps to avoid leaks. The Euro 2024 final is set for July 14 in Berlin.
