What can we say regarding Spain’s performance at Euro 2024? La Roja announced the colors in the preliminary matches, recording two huge wins once morest Andorra (5-0) and Northern Ireland (5-1). Group B has been particularly tough, with Luis de la Fuente’s side largely dominating the debate. Successes once morest Croatia (3-0), Italy (1-0) and Albania (0-1) allowed it to quietly finish in front and provide itself with a more affordable last 16 spot.
Fabian Ruiz’s team-mates are not giving up on the elimination. Quite the opposite! They confirmed that they are one of the favorites from now on. Facing the surprise of Georgia, Spain established itself with another big win (4-1).
However, we expect Spain to turn things around in the quarter-finals. La Roja has a date with host country Germany. A shock that should not be missed under any circumstances. Despite Pedri being injured at the start of the game, Spain held on. In a very open game (Spain scored 18 times, Germany 23), Dani Olmo opened the scoring for Espanyol shortly following the start of the second half.
However, Florian Wirtz allowed Mannschaft to grab extra time in the game. Despite this, the Spanish players showed their character, even in the more intense matches. In the 119th minute of the game, Mikel Merino scored the winning goal for Spain (2-1) and cooled down the German fans.
This is the most gorgeous game of the Spanish team, once morest the pragmatic Deschamps.
France haven’t been that convincing since the start of Euro 2024. France, with the help of Maximilian Wöber’s CSC, successfully faced Austria in Group D (0-1). This win would have allowed the Blues to start their campaign and build confidence. But in fact, it’s not.
In a very dull match, they had to settle for a draw (0-0) with the Netherlands. They were even caught up on the last day by the already eliminated Poland team (1-1). Deschamps’ team finished second in the group with 1 win and 2 draws, behind Austria.
However, the French players relied on a very solid defense. Since the penalty kick once morest Poland was first stopped and then correctly withdrawn, France has not conceded a goal in this European Cup. In the round of 16 once morest Belgium, she managed to escape in the final minutes thanks to Jan Vertonghen’s CSC (1-0). Kylian Mbappe’s team-mates then defeated Portugal in the quarter-finals.
The two teams played well, but no one had an advantage before the penalty shootout. France won this tournament for the first time since 1998 and advanced to the semi-finals. She admitted it would be complicated to score goals for him. The Blues will now have to be more efficient in their final gesture as they still have no goals scored in the game (2 CSC and 1 penalty).
Spain will have to face some bad news in the Euro 2024 semi-finals. He was disqualified from the remaining games. This isn’t the only time Luis de la Fuente will be absent! Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand were suspended for the clash. However, there are many other players in La Roja’s ranks who might follow suit.
The Spanish setting continues to impress. Fabian Ruiz has performed well and has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists. What to say regarding Rodri? The Manchester City player is one of the references for his position. Despite Pedri’s absence, Spain have nothing to worry regarding as Dani Olmo should take his place. He was named the best player in the last round with 1 goal and 1 assist.
La Roja’s attacking department also maintains high quality. She has already scored 11 goals in the 2024 European Cup, which is not unreasonable! Luis de la Fuente can rely on two of the most successful wingers in this European competition. The 16-year-old young gem Lamine Yamal continues to reveal himself to the public.
The Barcelona winger has already provided three assists and hopes to unlock his goal counter from now on. With 1 goal and 1 assist, the Athletic Bilbao player is expected to cause some trouble for the French defense.
Pedri, Carvajal and Lenormand all featured for the Spanish side. No Blues package!
Great news for Didier Deschamps! He should have his entire team available for this game. Marcus Thuram should indeed be available once morest Spain due to a hamstring injury. Adrien Rabiot, who was suspended once morest Portugal, will return and might be back in the starting lineup. The Blues will still rely on defense to advance to the finals. France’s last bastion Mike Maignan has impressed in this tournament. He made a series of saves once morest Portugal to help the team enter the penalty shootout.
The Milan goalkeeper can rely on the quality central hinge of Dayo Upamecano and William Saliba. Theo Hernandez made many saves at this European Championship and also scored the decisive shot in the quarter-finals. Jules Conde also occupies the right-back position! His opposition to Jeremy Doku and Rafael Leao was convincing. It’s enough to build your confidence before taking on Nico Williams.
Going back to the selection before the European Cup, N’Golo Kante is one of the best players of the Blues. As usual, he was everywhere, helping the team in both defensive and offensive phases. Especially the offensive part has to improve its game at the end of the game. Kylian Mbappé is the creator of penalty kicks and is far from shining yet. His physical condition did not appear to be good as he had to feature in extra time once morest Portugal.
Like the Blues captain, Antoine Griezmann is struggling to stand out. The last movement of Marcus Thuram, Randall Kolo Mouani or Ousmane Dembélé must be more precise. However, the latter got off to a good start once morest Portugal, which saw him voted Man of the Match.
We now know a lot regarding Deschamps’ Blues: they have the ability to adapt to any opponent! Portugal put in a stellar performance at Euro 2024 but suffered setbacks at the hands of France’s defense in the last round. The same may be true in Spain. As usual, La Roja will be proactive.
It is enough for the French team to defend well and counterattack well. Good news for Kylian Mbappe or Ousmane Dembélé, they certainly have a way of showing off their pace. The French team will most likely take advantage of this and at least not lose the game in regular time.
