Lamine’s Spain will defend the title in Munich

The Spanish team He did it again. If in the last eurocup he left France In the semifinal, he now repeats the work of Nations Leaguein a game with final fear after seventy minutes of exhibition led by Lamine Yamalwith two goals. At Stuttgart, Luis de la Fuente’s team, placed 5-1, but ended the suffering against the Didier Deschamps (5-4), which did not lower their weapons across the Spanish hand. Red will defend its title to the Allianz Arena against Portugal next week.

The Riojan coach was surprised at the brave decisions in the initial eleven. He left the Cubarsí, Fabián and Morata on the bench, and provided a continuation of Huijsen – he Normand in defense. In the middle, he chose Zubimendi and Merino’s balance, and at Punta, Oayzabal was the Reference. Conversely, Deschamps did not maintain anything and took all offensive artillery: Dembélé, Doué, Olise and Mbappé, a vertigo quartet.

From the beginning, the rhythm was a French electric to which Spain responded from the talent of Lamine Yamalvery activated from the first steps. I know there is something else at stake than the pass up to the final: There is also an individual prestige, the Golden Ball To dispute with Instead ofAnd it is shown in every action. In this is added Nico’s continued imbalance to the left.

France had earlier been hit, but UNAI Simon was very large, and Theo sent a powerful shot at Crosshead. Initially it was an exchange of blows without pause, with midfielders almost disappearing before so much verticality.

But red is advanced when it spends worse, in the first half of Ecuador. Playing was born on the right wing, at Lamine’s feet, serving in the area of ​​a tense ball. Oyarzabal She received it from her back and left her perfect for the arrival of Nico WilliamsThat was not forgiven. Just three minutes later, the second arrived. This time Mikel Merino chased the ball inside the area and fixed it on the first stick. Stuttgart is his talisman city again. At the same stadium, for the same purpose, he celebrated what his father had done in decades ago: the corner of the corner.

After rest, France It came out with pride, seeking to cut the distances as soon as possible. He tried luck with the two dangerous arrival, but no success. And in just ten minutes, Spain not only fought, but said.

Lamine YamalIn a state of grace, it overflowed to the right and caused a rabbot punishment, which knocked on him inside the area. Lamine himself took the ball, assumed responsibility and changed the first maximum penalty of his career, Serenity to score the third. And before French could have the coup, the room came. This time Nico Williams who came down left and served Pedri Inside the area. The Canarian, with a majestic technical gesture, stopped the ball above the gamble and placed 4-0. A sense of genius. A statement of career intent for the gold ball.

Using the semifinal on the track, France proudly reacted. Mbappé He cut off the distances from the penalty point at the time of playing. But the goal seems to be anecdotal because the Party is Spanish and there is still a final blow. LamineTired of, crowned his night in the fifth. Entering the right, something forced, crossed his shot at the goalkeeper’s exit and signed his personal double. A small hand was probably relatively large and that the Frenchman was injured, which resisted the collapse.
