Two of the best teams at this World Cup go head to head tonight with a place in the final on the line, and it is hard to think of a more compelling match-up at this stage of the tournament.
France have barely shifted out of second gear all summer. They cruised through Group I, then saw off Sweden, Morocco and Paraguay in the knockout rounds without conceding a single goal across those last three matches.
Kylian Mbappe has eight goals at this tournament and has scored in two of his three previous meetings with Spain. He forms a front four alongside Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Desire Doue that has created 19 chances between them this summer alone.
Deschamps makes his 26th World Cup appearance as manager tonight, surpassing Helmut Schon’s all-time record. This is also his final tournament in charge after 14 years, and his squad will be determined to give him the perfect send-off.
France have scored two or more goals in 17 of their last 19 matches across all competitions, a figure that underlines just how prolific this attack has been over the past 12 months.
Spain have been equally impressive, but have needed late drama to get this far. Substitute Mikel Oyarzabal has five goal involvements in his last five games for La Roja, and his combination with Mbappe in their last meeting two goals back was particularly eye-catching.
Their 2-1 win over Belgium in the quarter-finals owed a great deal to Mikel Merino’s late substitute goal, making him the first player in World Cup history to score the winner in two knockout ties from the bench.
Remove penalty shootout losses from the equation and Spain are on a 36-game unbeaten run, one ahead of their own previous national record. Luis de la Fuente has won 12 of his 13 games in major tournament football, with the one draw the only blemish on an extraordinary managerial record.
Lamine Yamal is getting back to his best after the hamstring problem that hampered him in the early rounds, and tonight against France’s full-backs could be the occasion where he announces himself on the very biggest stage.
The two sides shared a 5-4 thriller in last year’s Nations League final, and with the quality on show across both squads, the second half of this one is likely to be where the decisive moments arrive.
