In an exciting Nations League semi-final match, Spain overcame France 5-4 to set up a final clash against Portugal. The game saw a total of 40 shots, 17 on target, and nine goals, with Spain leading 4-0 and 5-1 before France rallied. Spain's prodigious teenage star, Lamine Yamal, shone with two goals and six for his country and club side Barcelona. France's Paris St-Germain duo, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, were outshone despite impressive club seasons. The game was a testament to Spain's attacking prowess, with their oldest player being just 28 and an average age of 24. However, questions remain about their defense, which conceded four goals. France's attackers had their moments, with Kylian Mbappe scoring a penalty, but their defense struggled, particularly debutant Pierre Kalulu and Clement Lenglet. Spain is now the favorite for the World Cup coming up next summer, with France second on the list.
