Spain beat France 2-1 at the Allianz Arena in Munich (Germany) to qualify for the final of Euro 2024, which will be played next Sunday, July 14, in the Olympiastadion in Berlin against the winner of the match between England and the Netherlands.
Lamine Yamal was the hero of the night. The young Spanish striker put in a stellar performance, capped by a first-half strike to level the score after Kolo Muani’s opener for France. Dani Olmo, meanwhile, scored La Furia Roja’s second goal to secure the win.
The French team, who came into the tournament on a nine-game unbeaten streak in the European Championship finals, saw their run come to an end in the semifinals. Despite their dominance in the second half, they were unable to overcome the adverse scoreline and bowed out of the tournament.
With this victory, Spain will be in the final of Euro 2024 in search of its fifth continental crown. The spanish team will be looking to lift the trophy for the first time since 2012, when they defeated Italy in the final of the edition held in Poland and Ukraine.

Spain vs France Preview
Spain and France will clash at the Euro 2024 Semifinals today Tuesday, July 9th at the Allianz Arena in Munich (Germany). In this match, the spanish national team faces an opponent with whom it has a poor record in the decisive stages of international tournaments. Find out the date, start time, TV channel, and live streaming platforms to watch this clash.
Despite La Furia Rojas’s 16 victories in the total number of meetings (36), only one of them has come at the finals (2-0 in the quarterfinals of Euro 2012). Les Bleus, on the other hand, has accumulated three wins at European Championships and one at a World Cup.
The 2021 Nations League final is still fresh in the memory of Spanish fans. An offside goal by Kylian Mbappé, which was not reviewed by VAR, gave the title to France and left a bitter taste for La Roja. This same referee, Anthony Taylor, will be present in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.
The Euro 1984 final at the Parc des Princes in Paris is a deep wound for Spain. A mistake by Luis Miguel Arconada on a Michel Platini free kick and a last-minute goal by Bruno Bellone gave the title to France to seal its only loss on four finals played by a golden generation of spanish players that included José Antonio Camacho, Carlos Santillana, to name a few.
In the knockout rounds of major tournaments, the French national team dominance is accentuated. The elimination in the quarterfinals of Euro 2000 with a penalty missed by Raúl and the defeat in the round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup are examples of the difficulty Spain has had to overcome France in these instances.
