Comments:

France failed in their attempt to reach a UEFA European Championship Final for the second time in a tournament not played in France; previously in Belgium and Netherlands at Euro 2000 when they beat Italy in Rotterdam to lift the trophy for second time. . They had now played against four of the top eight nations in the current FIFA World Rankings in their six games at Euro 2024. . Only four goals had been scored in Les Bleus’ five previous games at Euro 2024; three for, one against consisting of two penalties and two own goals. . France named 14 of a possible 15 substitutes.

Comments:

Spain had now won all of their six games so far at Euro 2024. They had become the first-ever team to win six games and to win six consecutive games at a UEFA European Championship tournament. . La Roja had now failed to win one of their six semi-finals at UEFA European Championship tournaments, losing on penalties to winners Italy in Euro 2020 at Wembley. . Aged 16 years and 362 days, Lamine Yamal had now become the youngest-ever player to score at a major tournament: previously Pelé for Brazil against Wales in the 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden. Switzerland’s Johan Vonlanthen had held the UEFA European Championship record with his goal against France at Euro 2004 in Portugal (18 years and 141 days). . Spain named 12 of a possible 15 substitutes.
