Spain vs France – LIVE!
A place in the Euro 2024 final is the prize on offer as Spain face France in a blockbuster clash in Munich tonight. The winner of this will face either England or the Netherlands in Sunday’s final, as the race to be crowned European champions reaches the home straight.
It is Spain who have impressed most in Germany so far, edging past the hosts last time out, and they remain on track for a third European Championship success in the last five tournaments. A winner from Mikel Merino in the 119th minute saw Spain knock Germany out, but they are forced into changes here. Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are suspended and Pedri is out injured, meaning Jesus Navas, Nacho and Dani Olmo come into the side.
France have scored three goals all tournament – two own goals and a penalty from Kylian Mbappe. Didier Deschamps’ side have certainly not been an entertaining watch but they continue to pick up results on the biggest stage, having edged past Portugal on penalties in the quarter-finals. Ousmane Dembele returns to the starting lineup, as Antoine Griezmann drops to the bench. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!

Spain 0-0 France
3 mins: First chance for Yamal to cut inside and run, immediately Rabiot looks in trouble.
On the other flank, Ruiz makes a great run in behind. He dinks a ball to the back post, Yamal loses his footing as he tries to get there.

1 min: Big news for those on #MaskWatch.
Mbappe is not wearing one. He’s repeatedly said how much he hates it, and he’s decided to get rid of it completely.

KICK-OFF!
Underway in this first Euro 2024 semi-final!
7 minutes ago
Mbappe has binned off the mask for the anthems and handshakes, waiting until the last possible second to put it on.
Judging by the anthems, it’s the French who might have a slight edge in the stands.
Not that it particularly matters – time for the 90 minutes (and maybe more) that do.

Here. We. Go.
Teams are out onto the pitch!
Time for the anthems…

Warm-ups done!
Players have gone back inside in Munich, they’ll be back in the tunnel in the next couple of minutes.
Seen plenty of matches recently go to extra-time and even penalties – would say there’s every chance we get another one to add to the tally here.

Mbappe: I hate wearing mask
Kylian Mbappe will again be wearing a protective mask tonight, having broken his nose earlier in the tournament.
The Frenchman, who has scored just once at Euro 2024, has made it clear how much he dislikes doing so, and how much it has impacted him on the pitch.
“It’s horrible playing with a mask,” Mbappe said.
“I keep changing masks because every time there is something that bothers me, there’s something that’s not quite right. It’s quite difficult playing with a mask because it limits your field of vision, your sweat clogs up and you need to let the sweat out.
“The first few days I felt like I was wearing 3D glasses and it wasn’t me who was playing. If I get to take the mask off I will, but now I don’t have a choice. I hate it. It’s really annoying.”

Not long now!
Kick-off fast approaching, just 20 minutes away.
For anyone living under a rock, the winner of this match will face England or the Netherlands in Sunday’s final.
Have to feel that whoever goes through tonight will be favourites to lift the trophy, regardless of what happens in the other semi-final.

Young and old for Spain
Bit of a contrast for Spain on that right wing.
They have the oldest outfield player to be involved in a Euros or World Cup semi-final, in Jesus Navas at the age of 38 years and 231 days.
And then there’s Yamal, 16 years and 362 days old. He is, unsurprisingly, the youngest to feature at this stage in either of those two tournaments.

France could drag it out…
1-0. 0-0. 1-1. 1-0. 0-0.
Well it’s not exactly been thrill a minute from France at Euro 2024 so far.
Can’t imagine they’ll change that approach now, with the tension and pressure only building.
Could be another long night…
