Spain 5 Vs France 4 FT
What an epic game this game was especially in the second half. Nine goals thriller, two goals in the first half and seven whopping goals in the second half, what a game. Despite that Spain won, France really did something incredible and for sure I'm proud of that unlike when the score was 4 - 0. Just imagine the game had ended in that 5 - 1, it would have been a disgraceful and disgusting semi final for France. The score line is very respectable especially for the fact that France was about doing a comeback.

Haha I also thought France would do nothing after being 4 goals down but it turns out I was wrong, France tried to catch up and almost equalized the score it's really amazing and I agree with you even though france lost but it is not embarrassing. Now Portugal will face a comparable opponent in the final we know Spain is the toughest challenge for Portugal with a young squad and I am quite confident that Spain can win this tournament, for 3rd place maybe France will secure it that's if they are serious about playing it.

It wasn't as I expected, I mean the score line 9 whole goals between these two wonderful teams, I'm sure not a lot of people expected such a score line too. France woke up too late and I still can't phantom how they managed to concede four goals before they could score one despite having several attempts on target in the game just before they scored their first goal. As if that wasn't enough they conceded another one again to make 5 - 1 before they proceed to score three consecutive goals. They woke up too late if not France would have equalised that game. From all statistics, it's certain that Spain will win this because I don't think Portugal can be able to stop them.

It was really a funny match yesterday and I was so shocked when saw that France was already losing 2:0 when I checked because there previous match Spain beat them 1:2 and so I was thinking this one was going to be tough and strong that France won't allow Spain to win them again. I didn't actually watch the first half so maybe the reason why Spain was able to beat them that first half was because they played better than France but when I was watching the second half I was asking myself how come Spain was able to score those their goals because France dominated the second half especially the ending minutes and if there was more time I think France would have equalized but so unfortunate.

No one was expecting comeback like this from France because this was looking humiliating end of this game with this score of 5–1 but in last 20 minutes things take interesting change and France score 3 goals Luis de la Fuentes was surely in shock with this fightback from France.

Now big final against Portugal things could be completely on different level from here Spain needed to be had their best again like they have done in this game for cup because Portugal could be completely different side after beating Germany. France had good dominance in this game, but sadly they fail to score goals which was the problem for them Kolo Muani fourth goal was really heartbroken for the Spain because suddenly peoples feel this can end in draw, but luck favours Spain.

I didn't expect the match to be so exciting. At the beginning it seemed like Spain was going to be a one-sided game and France was going to suffer a humiliating defeat. But I didn't expect them to play so well at the end. France played well from the start and were aggressive, but their attacks were mostly unsuccessful. Some attacks were blocked by the Spanish goalkeeper and some of them went over the bar. Even though they lost the match, I won't forget to give them credit. Because both teams played well and they were unlucky in the final result.

For now I really don't see any team that can take on this Spanish team so I wasn't really surprised when they were already two goals ahead in the first half although I was surprised on how the scoreline got to a whole 5-1 before the french nearly performed a footballing miracle by wanting to equalized such amount of goal difference in nearly a space of 27mins left of football play.

Spain defeated France 5-4 and became Portugal's opponent in the final.Spain started with pressure against France and closed the first half 2-0 ahead.Spain started the second half fast and increased the difference to 4 by the 55th minute.Although France tried to close the gap, they could not take the match to overtime.We can say that France had more shots than Spain, but they were not very effective in front of the goal.Offensively, Spain managed to break the match.Still, France should be congratulated.4-0 after that they didn't leave the game and tried to turn it around.

A very great match and I see Spain returning to its glory days. With a young squad, Spain proved that they have a very strong mentality, Yamal, a very young and very enthusiastic player, managed to prove his words that he would beat France. But besides Yamal, there was one other player who was very influential in this match, namely Pedri. He was not too prominent, but his influence on the team was very noticeable. Pedri was withdrawn by Spain as if he had lost his spirit and was immediately under pressure from France, even France was almost called back. Pedri always has a big influence on the team's playing style both at Barca and in Spain, there will be a big change in the game every time he is withdrawn.

I saw Grancis in this match especially Mbappe, he was destroyed in El Classico and the European Nation League by Yamal. If later in the final he manages to bring Spain to victory by defeating CR7, Yamal is really a candidate for the Baloon D'or this year. Moreover, later in the final against Argentina he is able to conquer Argentina then the Ballon d'or will be closer to Yamal.

[KTChampions]

It was an intense match, scoring 4 goals when you're behind 4 goals is amazing, Spain was just too strong.

I feel like in final match would be boring, Spain will humiliate Portugal and win easily.
~

Given how strong Spain is (although conceding 4 goals is not very cool) no one will be surprised by this outcome. But Portugal is also good, so bookmakers are pricing this game more evenly:

3.80 - 3.80 - 1.92

By the way, the situation in the Portugal - Spain pair is the same as it was recently in the Portugal - Germany pair - Portugal has not been able to win in an official game for a couple of decades. But all series eventually end... 

[Agbamoni]

Luis de la Fuente and Didier Claude Deschamps will not be pleased by how the match turned out to be a goal feast. The French coach will be questioned about his tactics that allowed them to come four goals down. His Spanish counterpart should explain how he nearly gave up a four-goal advantage.  

But this is exactly the kind of games fans crave. Goalless or one-goal wins make football boring; fans always want to celebrate goals. This was exactly what this match gave to the spectators. This match will be talked about for a long time, and I give kudos to the French side for their fighting spirit.  Even when they were many goals down, they kept fighting. Could this be the end of the Deschamps era?

The French players did not do a good job in the first half. I am not pleased with their performance at all and if I am the coach I will be upset about it. The defense was so poor leaving the Spanish attackers to take over and make use of the opportunity.

As a fan I don't crave for these kind of games when your favorite team concede so many goals, it kills the fun and excitement of the game. Two things will be involved either they come back or they lose the game. These days its hard to come back in international games.

Portugal are unlikely favourites to win the final - but they are probably as motivated to win the title as Spain. The depth of Portugal's squad is a problem for Spain - of course, because we can see a lot of star players in the squad. Spain have a generation of talented young players like Lamine Yamal, Pedri and others - but I think Portugal have experienced players who can turn things around.

My favourite is Spain - but I still think Portugal have a 40% chance of winning. Spain are favourites because of the good work their players do - but you never know what happens in the final even if either of them is considered a big winner.

It almost seems that no one is a match for Spain at the moment judging by what Spain showed in beating France.
Yamal was outstanding and he was Spain's main man in beating France. That's the point.
Although France were able to reduce the score in the end, it doesn't take away from how well Spain's future players combined.

In the final vs Portugal, Yamal, Pedri, Williams will be tested by the experienced players of the Portugal squad. The potential for Spain to make it difficult for a player like Ronaldo will happen.

[AirtelBuzz]

It is very difficult to predict today's semi-final match, where the two teams are very strong and they will fight with excitement to win this match. We saw that Portugal entered the final of the UEFA Nations League by defeating the German team in yesterday's match. And in today's match, Spain vs France, these two teams will face each other. Currently, both teams are very full of stars, where the game of both teams is going to be very interesting. We have seen that the stars that are currently in the France team are playing really well and their performance is also very good. Moreover, the performance of the players of the Spain team is also very strong, especially the Spanish stars are currently in good form. According to the betting odds of today's match, France has a low chance of winning, but Spain has a high chance of winning, but according to the line-ups, the difference between the two teams is almost equal, so it is difficult to guess who will enter the final in this match.

Today's semi-final match of the UEFA Nations League seems to me to be as exciting as the El Clasico match because France and Spain will face off in this match. Yesterday Portugal team was able to win with the help of Cristiano Ronaldo, which has already made it to the final of the UEFA Nations League. We have seen before that the Spanish team has world-class talent, while the French team also has world-class talent, so the battle between these two teams will be the most interesting. It is even noteworthy that all eyes will be on Mbappe and Lamin Yamal in this Nations League semi-final match because they are the best players on the field today even it can be assumed that in this UNL semi-final match, Pedri will be the most effective player in Spain's midfield.

I think Spain are heading into this semi-final in better overall shape. France clearly have quality up front, especially with Mbappé, but their defense still looks shaky. Spain, on the other hand, have a well-drilled squad and a strong midfield capable of controlling the rhythm of the game. Sure, they’ve had defensive lapses, and France will definitely create chances, but Luis de la Fuente’s team looks more cohesive right now. I believe Spain have a solid chance to win this one.

You were absolutely right in your argument that Spain is a well planned team and they have a strong midfield capable of controlling the rhythm of the game. In fact it was mentioned that Pedri would be the most effective midfielder for Spain in the UEFA Nations League semi-final match, which happened because he managed to score a goal in the match against France. In this important match the French football team began to change their scenario after halftime meaning they began to counter-attack from that time, which led to their early success. In this UEFA Nations League match we saw France's Ryan Cherki score a goal against Spain on his international debut, which essentially gave his team a slight lead but they couldn't win the Nations League.

Spain is really in the form of their life because I did not believe that they could go four goals up against former world champions France because France has a good team but yesterday game was like a big team playing against a small team this Spanish team is a threat going into the next world cup because the team has a lot of talent and most importantly they play like a team

Spain vs France match was a very interesting match because the match was full of goals, 9 goals were scored in the match that shows that both teams are good, Spain has players that can help the team win many trophies including the world, I am not a Barcelona fan but I like that kid called Lamin Yamal because that boy is too good, I know he is not the only one playing for Spain but having that kind of player in the team is a blessing to a team.

After looking at yesterday's match of Spain vs France I think France needs another coach, I know that Didier Deschamps has helped France to win the World Cup but at this moment he can't coach the team because seeing the lineup of France against Spain shows that he can't help the team again, I don't think any coach will use the line up against Spain that has best players in the world currently.

I felt the same way — when it was 5-1, it looked like France were completely falling apart. But fair play to them, they kept fighting and almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in international football. In the end, Spain stayed more composed and deserved the win. Now De la Fuente’s side are heading to the final against Portugal, and this might’ve been the best match in Nations League history.

[free-bit.co.in]

If they made a comeback it would be probobly the biggest comeback ever. They just needed a few more minutes but there just werent enough time. But still does changes needed to happen earlier. You just cannot lose at one point of the game 5–1 and expect them to comeback. Still a really good match

I can't remember when I last saw France conceding 5 goals in a single match

Despite France being 3-1 behind, I would have expected Les Bleus to make a comeback. But after falling behind 5-1, it was no longer possible to win the match.
First half gone as trash for Les Bleus with an initial 2-0 goal difference, but in the second half, the team made some strong attacks; however, they exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Result: conceding more 3 goals in the first 20 minutes of the second half, and falling behind by a large margin. Kylian Mbappé's penalty, along with goals from Rayan Cherki, an own goal by Dani Vivian, & Randal Kolo Muani, were not enough for  them to overcome that.

It would not be wrong to call France's squad the strongest squad in the world. But Mbappé curse is haunting them.

[Baki202]

Spain vs France match was a very interesting match because the match was full of goals, 9 goals were scored in the match that shows that both teams are good, Spain has players that can help the team win many trophies including the world, I am not a Barcelona fan but I like that kid called Lamin Yamal because that boy is too good, I know he is not the only one playing for Spain but having that kind of player in the team is a blessing to a team.

The game was very interesting, and no one expected the outcome of the game. A game ending with a total of nine goals is just another interesting game to watch. And in this kind of game, even if one team loses, there won't be any form of blame because both of them actually tried their best, and no one expected it. But Spain is actually very good. Yamal did a very good job in that game.

After looking at yesterday's match of Spain vs France I think France needs another coach, I know that Didier Deschamps has helped France to win the World Cup but at this moment he can't coach the team because seeing the lineup of France against Spain shows that he can't help the team again, I don't think any coach will use the line up against Spain that has best players in the world currently.

But even with a bad coach that you think must have caused their loss, they still tried, and even if they should get another coach now, it does not change the fact that they lost the game to Spain, and for sure, there will be a lot of improvement. And the thing is, it is not easy to be a coach, even when there is pressure. People just want you to win by all means, which is actually not easy, but it was a great game.

[snipie]

A nice substitution from Deschamps and a very bad choice substitute from the Spanish coach and almost at least three goals difference would be wiped out!
Vivian was a catastrophic choice tonight and he was responsible for the weakness of the Spanish defence line and directly in an own goal.
In the other hand, Cherki boosted France performance. What a mess I saw in this match due to the wrong decision. Luckily Yamal scored the 5th goal, otherwise it will be a catastrophic ending. I didn't expect to see France scoring 4 goals at all!

Honestly when I saw Vivian I started shouting, Vivian again? Ever since the Manchester United game where he got a red card I have never seen him perform better always him causing fouls that always put his team in danger, imagine a game I thought would end at 5-1 ended at 5-4, should I say Spain was lucky? At some point I wanted to say this game is another version of the CL finals but France did their best to almost came back.
My question is, which position is Mbappe playing? Deschamps should have started Kolo Muani and Mbappe behind but Mbappe playing as the main striker I don't see him causing much problems to the defends of Spain only when operating from the wings, this should be a lesson to all coaches coaching Mbappe because this style is gradually killing the best of player.
I don't think Spain have lost any game since they won the Euros, and if they haven't to win this Nations League then they are the best in the whole of Europe.

Many lessons should be taken from that match for both teams and coaches. Deschamps was saved from a humiliating situation thanks to a good substitution, nevertheless he had did a move before seeing the gap between his team and Spain got as large as 4 goals difference.
The Spanish counterpart is doing just fine in all games and this one until he made the mistake of bringing Vivian which might not as obvious, but he has to stop him from killing Spain team dream prematurely!

France had good dominance in this game, but sadly they fail to score goals which was the problem for them Kolo Muani fourth goal was really heartbroken for the Spain because suddenly peoples feel this can end in draw, but luck favours Spain.

If only they could do that since the first half maybe the end of the match would be different, but it is very convincing that in the first half K. Mbappe and his friends appeared less convincing. They rose when the team was really down, where at that time they were four goals behind Spain, a very wide score while the remaining time was quite narrow. But luckily they managed to score one more goal which made the final score 5-4. The comeback they made was not to win this match, but to maintain their pride as one of the best teams in Europe.

And of course the final match between Portugal VS Spain will be quite an interesting match to watch, because in that match we will see a 17-year-old prodigy facing a 40-year-old player. Lamine Yamal won quite surprisingly because at his young age, he was not only able to penetrate the main squad of the Spanish national team but he also became one of the important pillars for the Spanish national team. but on the other hand, even though CR7 is quite old, his magic has not ended, but he is still a big pillar for the Portuguese national team, and it is hard to believe that at his age, he is still one of the top scorers in the competition by scoring 7 goals.

[Adiljutt156]

The game ended and I confess that I am not surprised by this victory of Portugal, I already predicted that with injuries that the German national team had in its squad and with the fact that players of the Portuguese national team were very fit, then Portugal had more chances of winning this game, I do not understand why the bookmakers were looking at Germany as a favorite, anyway thanks to both teams scoring goals I managed to get my bet right



Portugal is in the final and is only waiting for Spain or France. In my opinion, if France beats Spain, then Portugal will have a better chance of winning the final, but if Spain beats France, then Portugal will have less chance of beating Spain in the final.

In their recent games, France haven’t been playing at their best, while Spain have been showing very good form. Maybe I’d give a slight advantage to Spain, but honestly, in matches like this it’s very difficult for me to pick a favorite. I have to admit, I didn’t expect Portugal to win, but yes they played better and deserved the victory. In fact, they could have scored even more. I was expecting a much better performance from Germany, even despite the injuries. I'm a bit disappointed with the result, but congratulations to Portugal on the win.

Portugal national football team played very well in the last match and that team did 2 goals in this match and Two players did 2 goals in this match and that was excellent game because one player did goal at 63 minutes of the match and after that goal we saw goal from another player and he did goal at 68 minutes of the match and match was ended with result of 2-0 .Wirtz did first goal of the match and he did goal at 48 minutes and match was good at that moment but we saw two goals after that goal . The body language of Portugal national football team was excellent and they got benefit from every opportunity. That was semi final and we saw semi final like a final because that was tough game for the players.

[Stablexcoin]

I think the French national team didn't become weaker, they just made simple mistakes and got confused at the beginning of the match. Looking at the final result I can definitely say that they could have equalised, if not taken the lead at all, they had the strength to do so, but the realisation did not work out because they were facing an experienced team. They coped with the pressure and at 5-1 they almost equalised. It's a pity, of course, that we didn't see the continuation, but I think the match was interesting as it was.

Over time the game became more interesting, the problem was how they appeared during the early period of the match, which gave Spain enough goals and France became the weaker side. It was an awful start as everyone thought we would see both teams score equally, but it started with Spain making ridiculous goal counts, Yamal who was at the front of spoiling French reputation, thankfully the score gap was closed with the final result of the game 5-4, how it was supposed to happen, but the early lead from Spain sincerely keeps them as the better side after the game.
