Lamine Yamal scores twice as Spain produce a superb display to beat France in a nine-goal thriller and set up a Nations League final with Portugal.

A meeting between two European heavyweights and a rematch of last summer’s Euro 2024 semi-final showdown, it was La Roja, the holders of the competition and reigning European champions, who came out on top thanks to a show of ruthlessness.

Lamine Yamal was the star as Spain beat France in a nine-goal thriller in Stuttgart to set up a Nations League final against Portugal on Sunday. The game was billed as a battle of the Ballon d’Or contenders and featured some of the brightest names in European football, including Yamal, Kylian Mbappe, Nico Williams, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele.
