PRVWSpain have confirmed their starting line-up for the semis!
-
PRVWSlavko Vincic will be in the middle for this one, Nejc Kajtazovic the VAR.
-
PRVWFrance possible lineup: Maignan (GK); Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Griezmann; Kolo Muani and Mbappe.
-
PRVWSpain possible lineup: Simon (GK): Navas, Nacho, Laporte, Cucurella; Olmo, Rodri, Ruiz: Yamal, Morata and Williams.
-
PRVWLet's get things warmed up with some possible lineups!
-
PRVWIf Spain are to win on Tuesday and book their spot in Sunday's final, Navas may enjoy the rare honour of being part of the start of another golden generation of Spanish football.
-
PRVWThe Sevilla winger does however boast experience as the last remaining member of Spain's golden generation, who won two Euros titles either side of a World Cup from 2008 to 2012.
-
PRVWComing in for Carvajal is right back Jesus Navas. At 38, Navas is older than the combined age of wingers Nico Williams, 21, and 16-year-old Lamine Yamal.
-
PRVWBut with Pedri out of the tournament with injury and Spain missing defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand due to yellow card suspensions, France may sense an opportunity.
-
PRVWSpain have scored 11 goals through eight different goalscorers, posing threats across the park.
-
PRVWDe la Fuente shot down suggestions France were boring, but said Spain's game plan "is closer to a nice show, a nice spectacle, if we do it right."
-
PRVWThat 1-0 loss to Germany, just over 10 years ago, was their last defeat in regulation time at a major competition.
-
PRVWFrance are yet to score from general play, with only an Mbappe penalty and two own goals in the plus column.
-
PRVWThe importance of France's experience at major tournaments has been clear in Germany. Despite a run to the semis, the French have failed to impress.
-
PRVWThat run includes a World Cup triumph in 2018 and a loss on penalties to Argentina in Qatar four years later, along with an extra-time defeat by Portugal at Euro 2016 on home soil.
-
PRVWSince a quarter-final defeat by eventual champions Germany at the 2014 World Cup, France have made the final at every major tournament other than Euro 2020.
-
PRVWWith a 25-year-old captain and one of the youngest squads at Euro 2024, it is easy to overlook how the French have established themselves as the dominant force in European football over the past decade.
-
PRVWLed by coach Didier Deschamps however, France have shown the necessary nous and guile to go within one game of their fourth final in the last five major tournaments.
-
PRVWMisfiring captain Kylian Mbappe, playing in a specialised mask due to a broken nose sustained in the opening fixture against Austria, has scored from the spot once, while the French have benefited from two own goals.
-
PRVWFrance have only scored three goals at Euro 2024, none of which have come from general play.
-
PRVWTo get there however, Spain will need to go through a France side who while not impressing in Germany have shown their expertise and experience at major tournaments to navigate their way to the final four.
-
PRVWSpain have lit up Euro 2024, winning all five games while scoring 11 goals and are just one win away from the final.
