"Nico and Lamine make the difference, it's up to us to counter them"

Antoine Griezmann, France and Atletico Madrid striker said on Sunday that Spain "are a great team", in which Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal "make the difference every time they have the ball".

The 33-year-old warned that no team "is scary" and called for "confidence" in "themselves" to approach next Tuesday's UEFA Euro 2024 semi-final in Munich.

"It's a great team, with a new coach. They have Nico and Lamine, who make the difference every time they have the ball. It's up to us to counter them," he said in comments posted on the French national football team's 'X' account.

"No team is scary. We have to have confidence in ourselves and give everything on the pitch to reach the final. There is only one game left to reach the final. It's extraordinary to always be in the top four. We have to enjoy the France team we have, because it wins and it's always nice to give joy," added Griezmann.
