France and Spain meet again in another major tournament semi-final, and this time the stakes are even higher.

France booked their spot in the semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Morocco, with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.

This was Mbappe’s eighth strike of the summer, while Dembele took his tally to five, and Spain will be looking to keep their devastating forward line quiet – which also boasts Michael Olise.

But Spain have firepower in their ranks too, with Lamine Yamal boasting an historic goal against France at Euro 2024.

Luis de la Fuente also possesses a not-so-secret weapon, with Mikel Merino netting the winner in La Roja’s 2-1 quarter-final win over Belgium, having done the same against Portugal in the last-16.

The winner of this blockbuster meeting will take on England or Argentina in the final on Sunday.

France vs Spain: Team news

Kylian Mbappe’s fitness is not a concern for France heading into Tuesday night, after he was substituted in the second half of their win over Morocco.

The Real Madrid superstar suffered a minor ankle sprain, but described himself as ‘completely fine’ at full-time.

Manu Kone was also withdrawn against Morocco with a knee issue, but this is only believed to be a precautionary move.

Les Bleus have also been handed a boost in midfield, with Aurelien Tchouameni expected to be fit again for the Spain clash.

Tchouameni had sat out both France’s last two wins over Paraguay and Morocco with a thigh injury, but is now set to return.

Elsewhere, centre-backs William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano were both missing from team training on Saturday, but neither are thought to be carrying serious issues.

As for Spain, Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino are available once again after suffering mid-tournament injuries.

New Liverpool winger Victor Munoz is also expected to be available, with Luis de la Fuente possessing a fully fit squad.

France vs Spain: What has been said?

Yamal has insisted France should be well aware of the threat Spain pose to them, pointing to his side’s memorable win at Euro 2024.

The teenage sensation became the youngest goalscorer in European Championship history when he netted in the 2-1 victory.

And while many have France down as tournament favourites, Yamal reminded reporters that Spain are well proven on the big stage.

The Barcelona star said: “If anyone should be afraid it should be them — we knocked them out of the Euros.

“Obviously we are two great teams, among the best in the world. We’ll see what happens, but we have no fear.”
