Euro 2024: Heavyweights Spain, France clash today for final berth

Continental heavyweights Spain and France are set to face off today in the Euro 2024 semi-finals, just one step away from Berlin. So far, Spain, boasting a flawless record, eliminated their hosts in the previous round to reach Munich. In contrast, France advanced to the final four via a tense penalty shootout win over Portugal.

Under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente, Spain remains the only team to have won all five matches in this tournament. No nation in European Championship history has won six matches in a single finals or posted six consecutive wins. Spain has progressed from four out of five European Championship semi-finals, although they lost on penalties to eventual winners Italy three years ago. They now aim to secure a place in their fifth continental final, with their last appearance in Euro 2012, where they emerged victorious.

Meanwhile, France is aiming for their fourth European Championship final, but only the second one was played outside the French soil. Compared to Spain, France’s journey has been less fluent. They lost out to Austria for the top spot in Group D and had an uninspired win over Belgium in the last-16 before edging past Portugal in the quarter-finals.

This marks the sixth meeting between Spain and France at a major tournament. Given Spain’s inspired performance so far, La Roja looks poised to taste success again and secure a spot in the final against England or the Netherlands on Sunday.
