After a terrible start, Spain have bounced back in their Euro 2024 semi-final against France. They fell behind inside the opening 10 minutes, but they were behind for only nine minutes – it’s now 1-1 in Munich.
Randal Kolo Muani headed Les Bleus in front after great work a maskless Kylian Mbappe. That could have seen Spain go into their shell, but they’ve done the opposite. Since then, La Roja have dominated, and they’ve got their reward in fine style.
Collecting the ball from Alvaro Morata, Lamine Yamal curled home an unstoppable effort from 25 yards out.

What an incredible goal it was from Lamine Yamal, and it makes him the youngest ever scorer in European Championship finals history. Barcelona would have been watching that strike in amazement, as were the rest of us.
It’s been all Spain since France took the lead, and de la Fuente will hope that his side can use their momentum to find another goal before the half time interval.
My son was screaming in his room. I first thought he had a little accident in his pants but it was that beauty of a goal from Yamal. You know, the 16 years old kid who plays for Barcelona, the team he dislikes so much. Hope he has a good night because every time in the past he had nightmares for hours..
