Here are five storylines to watch for today’s match:
1. France maintains a perfect record as they seek a third consecutive final
France is the only remaining nation in the tournament to win all six of its matches in regulation time, avoiding the need for extra time entirely. This dominant run, fueled by an offense that has scored 16 goals and a defense that has conceded only twice, has kept the 2018 champions as the firm favorites to reach their third straight World Cup final.
2. Kylian Mbappé is neck-and-neck with Messi in the Golden Boot race
Following his clinical 60th-minute goal against Morocco, Mbappé has reached a total of eight goals for the tournament. He is tied with Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot, which is awarded to the footballer with the most goals in the tournament. Mbappé won the coveted award in 2022.
3. Mikel Merino has become Spain’s definitive late-game hero
Mikel Merino has secured back-to-back victories for La Roja with a 91st-minute winner against Portugal and an 88th-minute clutch goal to oust Belgium in the quarterfinals. These timely strikes have propelled Spain to their first semifinal appearance since the squad was crowned world champions in 2010.
4. Spain’s defense and goalkeeper Unai Simon set historic benchmarks
Before conceding a goal to Belgium, goalkeeper Unai Simon recorded a tournament-best 650 minutes of unblemished play and currently leads all keepers with five clean sheets. This defensive stability is the foundation of Spain’s current 36-match unbeaten streak as they prepare to face the explosive French offense.
5. Historical statistics and recent matchups lean in Spain’s favor
Spain leads the all-time series against France with 18 victories across 38 encounters and has won eight of the last 12 meetings between the two nations.
