Spain vs France | UEFA EURO 2024
La Roja became the first team to book their spot in the final four of the competition on Friday evening, outlasting hosts Germany in an extra-time thriller in Stuttgart.
Luis de la Fuente’s side led for much of the second half through substitute Dani Olmo’s goal, with Mikel Merino then preventing a penalty shootout with a last-gasp 119th-minute header after Florian Wirtz had equalised dramatically in the final stages of normal time.
It was an incredible win for Spain, the only side to achieve victory in every match at this tournament so far, as they further embellished their new-found status as European Championship favourites, but it came at a potentially huge cost.
Meanwhile, Les Bleus came through a penalty shootout to send Portugal home later the same day, after an arduous goalless draw through 120 minutes.
That will do little to ease the French worries around Didier Deschamps and his negative style of play during the Euros, which is yet to yield a goal of their own in open play. However, they are now one game away from a third major final in four tournaments.
