Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal says France should be wary of Spain ahead of their World Cup semifinal. Multiple outlets report that Yamal expresses confidence in Spain’s ability to compete with and challenge Didier Deschamps’ side, framing the matchup as one in which Spain carries momentum rather than fear.
The reporting also notes that both Spain and France are entering the semifinal in strong form, with Spain’s recent results against France highlighted in some accounts. Yamal’s comments are described as dismissive of any notion that France are overwhelming favorites, and he points to Spain’s attacking threat and the quality of key players.
One theme across the coverage is Yamal’s belief that Spain’s performances—along with the presence of major playmakers for both teams—make the semifinal a “blockbuster” contest. Sources describe Spain and France as evenly positioned in the lead-up, with Yamal and other star names expected to play central roles as the teams meet in the last four.
