Match Overview
A match between the national teams of Spain and France will be held in the semi-finals of the Euro on July 9, 2024. Each of these giant neighbors is eager to make it to the finals.
Key Statistics and Trends
- Spain: They did not win only against Germany in regular time in their last 7 matches.

- Defensive Records: Both teams have conceded only 3 goals throughout the entire tournament.
Team Analysis
- Spain: Known as "The Furia Roja," Spain approached the tournament as the winner of the Nations League. They overcame last year's qualification and performed well in friendly matches. In the Euro, Spain won all 3 group stage matches without conceding a single goal: 3-0 against Croatia, and 1-0 against Italy and Albania. They then easily knocked out Georgia and beat Germany in the quarter-finals, thanks to Merino’s goal in the 119th minute.
- France: Known as "Les Bleus," France reached the finals in Qatar after their triumphant 2018 World Cup, losing to Argentina only on penalties. The updated team smoothly overcame qualification, beating the Dutch twice. Their friendly matches were not very successful, attributed to a lack of motivation. In the Euro, their performance has drawn criticism. Mbappé, Giroud, Griezmann, Kolo-Muani, and others have not scored "in the game." Both victories, against Austria in the group stage and Belgium in the round of 16, were secured by own goals. They defeated Portugal in the previous round only in post-match penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Team News
- Spain: Le Norman and Carvajal will not play due to suspensions, and Pedri is injured.
- France: Rabiot, who missed the quarter-final stage, has returned.
