Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, made a tactical substitution that led to Mikel Merino scoring the late winner against Belgium in the quarter-finals, showcasing Spain’s depth in midfield talent. Despite not playing their best, Spain prepares to face France in the semi-finals, with confidence stemming from past victories against them. Lamine Yamal emphasized their readiness for the challenge, while Spain’s experience from recent tournament success could prove advantageous. Both teams possess strengths, but Spain’s midfield dynamism and defensive solidity may give them an edge in this high-stakes matchup.
