Before a ball was even kicked on Thursday, the UEFA Nations League semifinal between France and Spain was billed as a clash of two modern greats, and the match certainly didn’t disappoint.

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.
