With Germany and Portugal contesting the other semi-final a day earlier, this tie will decide who earns the right to battle for silverware in Munich.<\/p><p>Both sides took dramatic routes to reach the last four. Spain edged the Netherlands in a thrilling quarter-final tie, winning the penalty shootout  5-4 after a 3-3 aggregate draw. France, meanwhile, pulled off a stunning comeback against Croatia, rallying from 2-0 down to force extra time and then prevailing on penalties.<\/p><p>France, led by the electric Kylian Mbappe, will be at full strength with Champions League winners Ousmane Dembele and rising star Desire Doue in top form. Across the pitch, Spain&rsquo;s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal looks destined to continue his meteoric rise.<\/p><p>Spain defeated France in the Euro 2024 semifinal last year, with goals from Yamal and Dani Olmo sealing a 2-1 win. That came three years after France beat Spain in the 2021 Nations League final. The winner here will meet either Germany or Portugal in the final at the Munich Football Arena.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128483;&#65039; \"We are working every day to defend our title\"<br><br> &#9654;&#65039; Pedro Porro appeared before the media ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NationsLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#NationsLeague<\/a><br><br>&#8505;&#65039; Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kqTnnbKgXr\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/kqTnnbKgXr<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VamosEspa%C3%B1a?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#VamosEspa&ntilde;a<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S4ZIMJvcdY\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/S4ZIMJvcdY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Spanish Football (@SpainIsFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpainIsFootball\/status\/1929569167109165285?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 2, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spain Injury News<\/h2><p>PSG midfielder Fabian Ruiz is part of the Spain squad but is expected to start on the bench as he recovers from a demanding season following PSG&rsquo;s recent Champions League triumph.
