The Spaniards turned the outcome of the duel in the direction they needed in a few minutes, scoring goals in the 21st and 25th minutes.
In the last six matches, France scored a goal “from play” only once and that was against Spain, and the other three goals were scored in different circumstances: two goals fell from opponents’ shots on their own goal, and Kylian Mbappe scored on the goal of the Polish team from the 11-meter mark.
After the failure and elimination from the tournament, the French team’s strategist Didier Deschamps recognized the superiority of the Spanish.
“Spain has proven to be a very good team. We were lucky to score the first goal of the match, but after that our opponents gave us problems. They controlled the ball better. Spain showed their true skills.
We were a bit late and probably not as fresh on the pitch, which led to technical errors, especially in the construction of our own game.
I admit that we didn’t go forward often enough and tried to press the opponent,” said the coach of the French national team on the TF1 program.
Meanwhile, France star Kylian Mbappe has described his performance at Euro 2024 as a failure.
“They played the match better than us. We have to judge the game shown correctly. It’s a shame that we conceded two goals quickly and couldn’t get back into the match: even when we had chances to do it in the second half, we didn’t do it,” said the now Real Madrid club member.
The footballer explained why he was already playing without a mask, even though he recently broke his nose.
“We made this decision before the match with the doctors. I got tired of the mask and asked the doctor if I could play without it and he told me I could do whatever I felt was best. I personally did not succeed in the championship, I wanted to become the European champion.
It’s been a long year and now all I want to do is take a vacation and relax. I played poorly in the tournament and we’re going home – it’s simple. I really need to rest. After that, a new life will begin,” said the striker of the French national team and Real Madrid.
