Watch France vs. Spain
Before the tournament started, most fans would have expected these teams to reach this late stage. It’s the Euro 2024 champions against a team that has dominated every team they’ve faced. It’s a battle between two teams stacked with talent, including Real Madrid’s Mbappé and Barcelona’s Yamal. What more could you want?
It’s impossible to predict which team will come out on the top. All we’ll say is that Spain haven’t looked as slick as we’re used to. They relied on late goals to beat Portugal and Belgium, whereas France haven’t really looked troubled.
