As it stands, Spain have been the best team at Euro 2024. La Roja cruised through Group B winning all three games without conceding a single goal. They dismantled Georgia in the Round of 16, which set up a thrilling quarter-final against host nation Germany that looked to be heading toward penalties before a last-minute extra-time winner from Mikel Merino won the game for Spain. Right now, Spain are the clear favorites to win the whole tournament and look dangerous in every single attack.
However, France shouldn’t be written off so easily. While Les Bleus have underwhelmed at Euro 2024 so far (finishing runner-up in Group D, and limping through both the Ro16 and QFs), this French team is so stacked with quality players that it’s hard to believe they won’t find an extra gear from somewhere. Although, remarkably France have made it to the semi-finals without scoring a goal from open play. They really will need to step up their game fast if they are to progress further.
The Spain vs France live stream could be a European Championship classic. There’s a place in the final at stake, and both these world-class teams will be desperate to keep their tournament going all the way to the end. Don’t miss this Euro 2024 semi-final clash

France team news
Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe, who has scored only once at Euro 2024, is a doubt due to his nose injury.
On the other hand, goalkeeper Mike Maignan will look to keep another clean sheet, with Adrien Rabiot back from a ban to possibly displace Eduardo Camavinga in midfield.
France possible XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Griezmann; Kolo Muani, Mbappe.
A place in Sunday’s final is on the line in Munich, pitting Spain’s young exciting team against France’s more seasoned operators.
La Roja have rebuilt following the break up of their glory years and have arguably looked the strongest team in the tournament, toppling hosts Germany last time out.
Les Bleus, meanwhile, have largely underwhelmed but remain one of the most successful international sides around.
Spain have looked like the most complete side at Euro 2024 so far, breezing through Group B without conceding a goal, and dispatching Georgia in the round of 16 with relative ease. Hosts Germany gave Luis de la Fuente’s side more of a scare in the quarters, forcing the game to extra-time with a late Florian Wirtz equaliser, but Mikel Merino prevented a penalty shoot-out by heading the winner for Spain with just a minute left on the clock.
France, on the other hand, have so far failed to live up to their billing as one of the favourites. Didier Deschamps’ side are yet to score from open play (one penalty and two own goals) but the World Cup-winning coach knows there are no points awarded for style and that lifting trophies in knockout competitions is all about avoiding defeat. Les Bleus beat Portugal on penalties last time out, but their southerly neighbors will present their biggest test so far.
Spain, who have won the competition a joint-record three times, have won four and drawn one of their five outings so far, with Luis de la Fuente's side needing extra time to get past Germany in the quarter-finals.
Mikel Merino netted the winner in the 119th minute against Germany last week, meaning Spain have scored 11 and conceded just two goals so far in the competition.
If Spain are to beat France and book their place in the final, they will have to do so without defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand, who are suspended, while star midfielder Pedri will likely miss the rest of the tournament through injury.
France have lifted the trophy on a couple of occasions and Didier Deschamps' side edged past Portugal in the quarter-finals after a thrilling penalty shootout. Kylian Mbappé has struggled to shine in Germany this summer and the new Real Madrid signing will be desperate to put his stamp on the tournament this week.
Spain have been comfortably the best team at Euro 2024 and after Mikel Merino's header sealed their 2-1 extra-time defeat of hosts Germany in the quarter-final, la Roja have now had to work hard for their brilliance, too. Luis de la Fuente's side are now on a seven-game winning run and have tasted victory in 15 of their 19 games since the start of 2019, the best record in Europe. But will their upcoming suspensions hit them where it hurts?
Despite all the talent at their disposal, France have hardly lit up the tournament – their four strikes have come from two penalties and two own goals – but the 2018 world champions and 2022 runners-up just know how to win. In the last eight, les Bleus ended Portugal's tournament from the penalty spot after a drab goalless draw in which Kylian Mbappé again seemed to struggle with his protective facemask. France won the Euro 84 against their semi-final opponents but lost the last time the teams met in a major tournament, Spain winning 2-0 in the Euro 2012 quarter-final.
Luis de la Fuente's men dug deep and showed an entirely different side of their game as Spain defeated hosts Germany in an incredibly entertaining quarterfinal tie, with Mikel Merino scoring a 119th-minute winner for La Roja.
The last time Spain reached the final of a European Championship was when they lifted it in 2012. They were dumped out in the semifinals of this competition by eventual champions Italy three years ago.
Meanwhile, Les Bleus came through a penalty shootout to send Portugal home later the same day, after a pretty dour goalless draw through 120 minutes. Didier Deschamps' side are yet to score from open play themselves but are in the semifinals somehow. France reached the European Championship final in 2016 when they lost to Portugal on home soil in Paris.
The long-anticipated Euro 2024 semifinal is set to deliver a clash of titans as Spain and France go head-to-head in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Spain have emerged as the tournament’s top contender, riding high on stellar performances, including a decisive victory over Germany in the final professional game of legend Toni Kroos.
On the other side, France, led by Kylian Mbappe, have experienced a rollercoaster tournament but recently solidified their credentials by knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Portugal. Despite their ups and downs, France’s ability to overcome formidable opponents underscores their status as serious contenders in this high-stakes matchup.
