Spain and France define the 2nd finalist of the Nations League, in a duel where all eyes will be on Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, favorites for the Ballon d’Or<\/h2> \r\n

Spain and France re-edit this Thursday the semifinal of the past Eurocup again in Germany, this time to decide the second finalist of the UEFA Nations League. Portugal awaits a rival after surprising Germany (1-2)<\/a>, but the duel between the Selecci\u00f3n and the Gauls, without a doubt, has a one-on-one that captures the attention of the world press.<\/p>

Lamine Yamal<\/a> and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 are called to lead the offensive of both teams, in a one-on-one duel that can be key to define the winner of the Ballon d’Or 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>

The ‘Mosquito’ has gained integers on the way to the award after lifting the Champions League with PSG<\/a>, while the youth of FC Barcelona completed a brilliant end of the season that, for many, makes him the best player in the world today.<\/p>

With the memory of his great goal almost a year ago, in Munich for the ‘semis’ of the Euro, France knows very well the danger represented by the one from Matar\u00f3<\/strong>. La Roja, for its part, must also take care of ‘Dembouz’ and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, the main offensive weapons of Didier Deschamps’ team.<\/p>

For the ’19’ cul\u00e9, the duel against France means re-editing the ‘semi’ of the past Eurocup, where he scored his first great goal from outside the area<\/strong>, a registered trademark since then, to put the partial tie.<\/p>

Randal Kolo Muani had advanced ‘Les Bleus’ in the 9th minute, while Lamine’s ‘pepinazo’ fell in the 21st minute. Four minutes later, Dani Olmo scored the second and definitive goal for La Roja<\/strong>, which would later repeat the result in the final against England (2-1) to keep the trophy.<\/p>

In that semifinal, Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 was also a starter and completed a fairly gray match<\/strong>. Olivier Giroud replaced him in the 79th minute, while Yamal played the 90 minutes and left in injury time.<\/p>
