United StatesSpain's 18-year-old football prodigy Lamine Yamal confidently challenged France ahead of their World Cup semifinal match, asserting that France hasn't defeated Spain since the Euros and claiming they are among the top two teams in the tournament. Yamal made these remarks during an interview with Juanma Castaño for El Partidazo de Cope on June 30. Following Spain's 2-1 victory over Belgium in the quarterfinals, Yamal emphasized that Spain had previously defeated France in both the 2024 European Championship and the 2025 UEFA Nations League, suggesting confidence in their ability to repeat this success. The match is set for July 14 at AT&T Stadium. Analysts note that France, which has scored more goals than any other team at the tournament, faces a formidable challenge against Spain, which has maintained a strong defensive record.
