New Delhi: The UEFA Euro 2024 semi-final between Spain and France will take place at Allianz Arena in Munich on Tuesday, July 9th. Spain, the only team with a perfect record in the tournament, comes in strong under Luis de la Fuente. His tactical versatility has turned Spain into a formidable side, highlighted by their victory over Germany where Dani Olmo and Mikel Merino scored decisive goals.
Spain’s recent UEFA Nations League win has further boosted their confidence, marking their best winning streak since June 2010. With victories over Croatia, Italy, Albania, Georgia, and hosts Germany, Spain has been a dominant force throughout the tournament. They have reached the European Championship finals four out of the last five times, although they were defeated by Italy in the previous edition’s penalties.
France, meanwhile, is aiming for their fourth European Championship final appearance and only their second not played on home turf. Under Didier Deschamps’ leadership, who also led the team in their 2016 final loss to Portugal in Paris, France has struggled with consistency since their 2022 World Cup defeat. In the group stage, they lost the top spot in Group D to Austria and seemed uninspired in their win over Belgium.
They narrowly secured a victory against Portugal in the quarter-finals, with goalkeeper Mike Maignan making crucial saves to push the game into extra time. Theo Hernandez scored the decisive penalty, despite Kylian Mbappe being forced off before the shootout. With Mbappe not at his best, France has managed only four goals in their five Euro 2024 matches.
This semi-final is set to be a compelling clash between Spain’s current dominance and a French team striving to reclaim past glory. The winner will advance to face either England or the Netherlands in the final on Sunday.
