• 

  Unai Simon 7/10

  SPAIN RATINGS: In what was an exceptional game, he continued as a winner for side who’ve tasted victory in every match in the tournament. AP

• 

  Jesus Navas 6/10

  Poor positioning and not close enough to Mbappe for France’s opener. Booked. Settled down and improved, but the 38-year-old came off injured just before the hour. AFP

• 

  Aymeric Laporte 8/10

  Excellent performance by the Frenchman of Basque descent who chose to play for Spain. Battered and bruised by the end, but stood firm. AP

• 

  Nacho 7/10

  Drove into midfield and created spaces in a team with peerless movement. Moves the ball so quickly, like his team. EPA

• 

  Marc Cucurella 8/10

  Booed by the many Germans in crowd aggrieved that their side didn’t get a penalty in quarter-finals. Floored by Camavinga in 88th minute, yet he was superb again and integral to team. AFP

• 

  Rodri 8/10

  Controlled the midfield throughout, like he has done the entire tournament. A serial winner in a winning team. AFP

• 

  Fabian Ruiz 8/10

  Calm with the ball, a threat going forward. Worked well with Rodri once again and another who has been superb in Germany. AFP

• 

  Lamine Yamal 9/10

  Wonderkid scored a wonder goal to equalise. The boy was far more than the goal as he set others up. Went for goal again after 80 minutes but fired over. Always makes the right pass. Looks established for the Spain already. AFShow less

• 

  Dani Olmo 8/10

  Quality touches to put Spain ahead. Movement, graft and skill. Three goals and two assists in the tournament so far putting him on target for the Golden Boot. AP

• 

  Nico Williams 7/10

  A danger coming in from left – and Spain’s pace on wings makes them fly. Nutmegged Kounde after an hour although French defender was able to win ball back. Enjoyed a tournament to remember. AP

• 

  Alvaro Morata 7/10

  The captain who rightly feels under-appreciated stretched the French in defence but also defended well himself. Seemed to pick up an injury after an official collided with him after the game. AP

  Mike Maignan 7/10

  FRANCE RATINGS: Beaten by fabulous curling Yamal strike and then no chance with Olmo’s deflected second, which were Spain’s only efforts on target. AFP

• 

  Jules Kounde 8/10

  Thought he had scored own-goal when deflected Olmo’s low strike into net but was eventually awarded to Spaniard. Pretty much snuffed out threat of the dangerous Williams. EPA

• 

  Dayot Upamecano 7/10

  Defence that had conceded once in five games leaked twice in four first-half minutes. Made mess of headed chance at other end of pitch just after hour mark. AFP

• 

  William Saliba 8/10

  Usual reliable presence and another fine game at heart of what has been solid France defence in Germany. Helped mark Morata out of game and Arsenal centre-half has enjoyed fine tournament. EPA

• 

  Theo Hernandez 5/10

  Tough task facing fearless Yamal and trying to stop winger cutting inside from right is easier said than done. Big chance to score with 15 minutes left but shot way over bar with weaker right foot. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  N'Golo Kante 7/10

  Two of tournament’s best midfielder’s in Kante and Rodri went head-to-head in Munich. Was usual industrious self but sacrificed in second half as Deschamps threw dice and brought on attackers. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Aurelien Tchouameni 6/10

  Left for dead by ludicrous, deft Olmo touches ahead of Spain’s second goal. Headed corner straight down and into Simon’s hands just after break. Booked for lunge on Morata. Getty Images

• 

  Adrien Rabiot 5/10

  Pre-game comments about Yamal needing to ‘do more’ looked foolish when teenager ghosted past him before curling home stunning goal. Struggled in midfield and no shock when hooked. PA

• 

  Ousmane Dembele 6/10

  Started ahead of Griezmann and was involved in build-up to early French goal but France would have hoped for more impact from PSG attacker whose final ball was lacking. AFP

• 

  Randal Kolo Muani 7/10

  Headed side into lead with France’s first goal from open play this tournament that came minutes after having his face shoved into turf by Nacho. Didn't offer much threat bar the goal. AFP

• 

  Kylian Mbappe 6/10

  Finally able to ditch protective mask but finishes Euro 2024 with just one goal. Clipped perfect ball to back post for Kolo Muani to open scoring. Shot straight at keeper from tight angle in 55th minute and skied effort over bar late on. AFPShow less

• 

  Antoine Griezmann 6/10

  SUBS: (On for Kante 62’) Atletico Madrid attacker has had frustrating tournament and couldn’t help team find equalising goal here. AP

  Eduardo Camavinga 6/10

  (On for Rabiot 62’) Booked for poor late challenge on Cucurella with a couple of minutes to go and game running away from France. AFP

Teenager Lamina Yamal scored a wonder goal as Spain came from behind to beat France 2-1 in the Euro 2024 semi-finals in Munich on Tuesday.

Trailing after Randal Kolo Muani headed home an inch-perfect Kylian Mbappe cross in the ninth minute, Spain turned the match around in a four-minute period, scoring twice against a side who had only conceded once in five previous games in this tournament.

Yamal, who turns 17 a day before Sunday's final against either the Netherlands or England, equalised with a superb strike from outside the box, curling a long-range effort into the top corner and past the fingertips of an despairing Mike Maignan. The goal means the Barca winger became the tournament's youngest ever scorer at the age of 16 years and 362 days.

Spain took the lead on 25 minutes, Dani Olmo expertly gathering a loose ball and firing a low shot into the net with the aid of a deflection off Jules Kounde.

"I got the ball, didn't think about it for too long and just shot," Yamal said of his brilliant strike. "I'm just enjoying myself and I'm proud to be in the final."

Three-time champions Spain became the first team to win six games at a Euros and are one game away from a record-breaking fourth crown. "We are one step away from glory," Olmo told ZDF. "We are very, very close. This team is unbelievable. We deserve it.

"We played the game very well. We kept playing our way. A great goal from Lamine, who had a wonderful match."

This weekend in Berlin will be Spain's first appearance in a major tournament final since the much-vaunted side that thrashed Italy 4-0 in the Euro 2012 showpiece.

"It's incredible to reach a Euros final, it's something magical," said veteran defender Nacho. "The team has a lot of character, the mix of veterans and youth makes us strong. It was the same against Germany, we knew how to take the game in the right direction."

Masters of midfield game management, Spain shut up shop after taking the lead, frequently holding possession rather than attacking on the counter, controlling the match and claiming the win.

"We were able to open the scoring, which was great," said France coach Didier Deschamps. "Spain mastered the game better than us, though. We didn't perform that well, we didn't play as vertically as I wanted. We pushed all the way to the end."

And Deschamps admitted the team's lack of goals has been a problem this tournament. "You need to be as relaxed as possible and hit the target," he added. "This is what we've been missing. Nevertheless, we made it to the semi-final and found a way to score, thanks to Kolo [Muani]. It would have been better if we'd been as efficient as we had been before."
