This Tuesday, in the semi-finals of the European Championship, Spain will face France at 4pm (Brasília time). The game will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Where to watch: the match will be broadcast on TV Globo and Sportv.
The Spanish team arrives motivated for the match. The team is the only one that has won all its games in the competition.
Qualification for the semi-finals came with excitement, as they eliminated Germany with a goal in extra time after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Coach Luis de la Fuente has problems for this match. Right-back Carbajal and forward Morata are suspended. In addition, midfielder Pedri is out of the competition due to injury.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity. We’ve done very well to get here. This game could be a Euro final: both teams are excellent. Everything will be decided by the small details. We’ll try to be true to ourselves with all the strengths that have brought us here,” said De la Fuente.
On the other hand, France has been struggling in the competition. Les Bleus, despite not having convinced so far, could reach a final once again. Their place in the semi-finals came only on penalties against Portugal, after a goalless draw in normal time and extra time.
Coach Didier Deschamps has no players missing for the game. The coach will also be counting on the return of midfielder Rabiot, who served a suspension in the quarterfinals. Despite this, he was full of praise for his opponent.
“Their midfield is strong, with Rodri essential. They are the team that has performed best in the Euros so far. They have left the best impression after every game,” he declared.
