Spain are the first nation through to the Euro 2024 final after beating France 2-1 in Munich.

 

After a series of games at this year’s European Championship that could safely be filed as ‘cagey’, Spain and France served up a superb encounter on Tuesday evening. Didier Deschamps’ side took the lead inside 10 minutes via a Randal Kolo Muani header from a delightful Kylian Mbappe cross, but Spain hit back with two extraordinary goals, the first a welcome-to-the-big-time rocket from Lamine Yamal (who, as you might have heard, is 16) followed by a clever finish from Dani Olmo four minutes later.

 

There was no slowing down after the break either, with both sides continuing to trade blows. France had their chances to equalise but even Olivier Giroud — on as a substitute for his final international appearance — could not find a way through. Spain will head to Berlin for Sunday’s final and a chance to become champions of Europe for a fourth time.
