The Semifinals Results
- Spain 2-1 France
- Netherlands 1-2 England
The French masterclass stood no ground over the Spanish footballing brilliance which has been deadly for all their opponents in this tournament. While Les Bleus took a lead in the 9th minute, Lamine Yamal’s venomous strike rattled the French defence in the 21st minute as he wrote down history by becoming the youngest (16 years, 362 days old) player to score in the men’s European Championship. Dani Olmo sealed the deal in the 25th minute, ensuring La Furia Roja their rightful place in the finals.
The clash between the Netherlands and England was woven with a slightly similar thread as the Oranje led the match in the 7th minute with a stunning goal by Xavi Simmons. However, Harry Kane’s winning penalty in the 18th minute equalised the game. And, it was not until the 90th minute that substitute Ollie Watkins scored a smasher, leading the Three Lions to the much-awaited finals.

Euro 2024 Final: Predictions
This is the second consecutive time that the English have reached the UEFA Euro Championship finals. In 2020, they were knocked out by the Italians in a heart-wrenching penalty shootout and the cup had been snatched right under their noses. At the start of the tournament, England’s performance was highly questionable as they were not at par with their tactical brilliance of 2020.
However, since the quarterfinals, Gareth Southgate’s men have risen above and shown why they are here to fight for the title. They are likely to begin with a 3-4-2-1 formation while facing the Spaniards. With Bellingham, Kane and Saka and their constant attempts to get the ball in the net, assisted by resilient midfielders and a strong defence, the English will definitely be a tough opponent to beat.
However, the Spanish side doesn’t fall short when it comes to talent as it boasts some of the most lethal attacking midfielders and a team that is quick to get behind the ball if they lose possession. Not to forget the wonder kid Yamal, whose brilliant goal technique made him a household name in Spain, and superstar Olmo’s magical performance in the tournament, the team as a whole is unbeatable.
The Spaniards will get back their fortification as Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand return from the bench after their dismissal for the semi-finals. With captain magnificent Morata leading La Roja with a nearly invincible defence, they are arguably the stronger of the two teams and have been the sweethearts of the tournament throughout, securing an edge over all their opponents.
