French football star Antoine Griezmann starts the European Championship semifinal on the bench. Instead, Randal Kolo Muani gets the chance to start in the French attack. In Spain, Jesús Navas will flank the right wing with the 22-year-younger Lamine Yamal.
France has not scored a single goal in the European Championship so far. Three goals have been scored, two of which are own goals and one is via a penalty kick.
Therefore, national team captain Didier Deschamps chooses to make changes in the offensive line.
Antoine Griezmann is benched, and starts the match on the bench. Instead, PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani comes in, who missed a clear chance in the quarterfinal against Portugal.
Beside him, Ousmané Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé will start as usual.
In Spain, there are also changes, but more forced ones.
Both center back Robin Le Normand and right back Dani Carvajal are suspended, and midfield talent Pedri was seriously injured in the quarterfinal against Germany and will miss.
Instead, goal scorer in the quarterfinal, Dani Olmo, comes in on midfield, and Le Normand is replaced by Nacho Fernandez. But the most notable change takes place on the right back position, where the 38-year-old Jesús Navas will flank the Spanish right wing together with the 22-year-younger Lamine Yamal.
Spain (4–3–3): Unai Simón – Jesús Navas, Nacho Fernandez, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella – Rodri, Fabián Ruiz, Dani Olmo – Lamine Yamal, Alvaro Morata, Nico Williams
France (4–3–3): Mike Maignan – Jules Koundé, Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba, Theo Hernández – N'golo Kanté, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Adrien Rabiot – Ousmané Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, Kylian Mbappé
