New Delhi: Luis de la Feunte's Spanish squad continues their remarkable Euro 2024 journey with a 2-1 triumph over Didier Deschamps's France, cementing their place in the final. With an unbeaten streak spanning six matches, Spain reaffirms their status as the team to beat in this tournament. France seized an early lead at Munich's Allianz Arena with Kolo Muani's header in the 8th minute. However, Spain responded swiftly, equalizing through Lamine Yamal's stunning long-range strike in the 21st minute. Just moments later, Dani Olmo netted another goal, tilting the balance decisively in Spain's favor.

Yamal shines bright

Sixteen-year-old Lamine Yamal emerged as the game's standout performer, showcasing his potential with a goal reminiscent of Lionel Messi. His historic strike not only made him the youngest-ever scorer in European Championship history but also underscored his burgeoning talent and composure on the big stage.

Defensive mastery and French frustration

Despite boasting a formidable midfield trio of N'Golo Kante, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Adrien Rabiot, France struggled to penetrate Spain's disciplined defense. Led by veterans like Nacho and Jesus Navas, Spain thwarted French attacks and limited their effectiveness on the flanks, denying them clear-cut opportunities.

With a spot in the final secured, Spain awaits the winner of the England vs. Netherlands semi-final. Manager Luis de la Feunte aims to fortify his squad further as they strive to clinch the prestigious Euro 2024 title, marking a potential resurgence for Spanish football after a challenging period.
