The Blues are powerless against Spain

On the verge of the final, against Spain, one of the favourites of the competition, the step was too high for the Blues. Well engaged in the match, Didier Deschamps’ men quickly opened the score in the 9th minute, Tuesday 9 July. Kylian Mbappé sends a cross to Kolo Muani, who scores with a header. But La Roja quickly recovers, ten minutes later. Lamine Yamal, the youngest player to play in a Euro semi-final, at only 16 years old, equalises for Spain, in style.

Then a second Spanish goal in quick succession, which allows the Spanish to take the lead in the score, from the first period. In the second act, Didier Deschamps goes into offensive mode: Griezmann, Camavinga and Barcola come into play. But the Spanish, the best attack in the championship, also excel in defense. The Blues’ attack remains silent. And the entry of Olivier Giroud has not changed anything.
