Euro 2024 semifinals and final
The semifinals kicked off with a clash between Spain and France. Spain emerged victorious, edging out France 2-1 on Tuesday in Munich. Lamine Yamal proved to be the game-changer, scoring a crucial goal to spearhead Spain’s comeback. His strike came just four minutes after teammate Dani Olmo found the net. Spain’s formidable defensive effort ultimately secured their victory.
La Roja has now advanced to their fifth European Championship final, while France’s journey comes to an end [4].
In yesterday’s match, England clinched their spot in the final with a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, courtesy of a 9 goal at the 90-minute mark from substitute Ollie Watkins [5]. His eleventh-hour heroics saved England from the nail-biting prospect of a penalty shootout. Watkins later said that he had been visualizing this moment for weeks, determined to make it a reality.
The Netherlands represented England’s toughest challenge yet, following matches against Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia, and knockout games against Slovakia and Switzerland. England has never won the European Championship title, but finished as runners-up to Italy in the 2020 tournament.
There are just days remaining until the Spain vs England final match, but La Roja emerges as the favorite to claim the championship. The Spanish team has maintained a perfect record, winning all five matches during Euro 2024. Spain took the championship in 1964, 2008, and 2012. With a 12-year drought since their last victory, the team is thirsting for another win.
As we approach the tournament’s conclusion, the race for top scorer remains tight. This year’s competition hasn’t seen any standout offensive performances, with no player significantly outscoring their competitors. Adding to the intrigue, some of the leading scorers won’t even feature in the final.
That’s the case for Georges Mikautadze from Georgia, Jamal Musiala from Germany, and Ivan Schranz, who have each netted 3 goals. Spain’s Dani Olmo is the only player still in contention with 3 goals to his name.
