- 02:15 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Mbappe makes a messKylian Mbappe has made a complete mess of the chance and is that the game? France broke fast and Mbappe looked to run with the ball.

- 02:04 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Massive miss!Theo Hernandez! What have you done! Horrible defending by France and the ball fell to Hernandez as a position where the fans were hopping that he will score. However, the shot was way off target and it sailed over the goal! This is a massive letdown!

- 01:39 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Maignan accuracyNico Williams was through on goal but a brilliant sliding tackle by the goalkeeper Maignan keeps the score 2-1. Brilliant work from the French goalkeeper as even an inch here and there would have resulted in a free-kick and possibly a card.

- 01:03 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Huge achievementSpain's Lamine Yamal became the youngest goalscorer in European Championship history at the age of 16 years and 362 days in Tuesday's semi-final against France in Munich.

- 00:42 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Kolo Muani scoresRandal Kolo Muani scores and France have taken the lead! What a start for the team who have struggled to score from open play in this tournament. A brilliant cross from Mbappe and Kolo Muani had all the time in the world to calmly head it into the goal.
- 00:15 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Major decisionInjuries and suspension have forced Spain coach Luis de la Fuente to make three changes to his starting XI, including starting Dani Olmo for the injured Pedri. Pedri injured his knee early in Spain's 2-1 quarter-final win over Germany and was replaced by Olmo, who was named man of the match after scoring a goal and laying on an assist.
- 00:07 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Mean defenceFrance's three strikes have come from two own goals and a penalty converted by captain Kylian Mbappe. Les Bleus are also yet to concede from open play in the tournament. Their one goal conceded came from a penalty scored by Poland striker Robert Lewandowski.
- 00:05 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Massive changesFrance coach Didier Deschamps dropped misfiring forward Antoine Griezmann for Ousmane Dembele in Tuesday's Euro 2024 semi-final clash with France in Munich. Griezmann has started all but one of five matches so far at the tournament but has failed to spark in a France attack which is yet to score from open play.
- 23:43 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Injury issuesSpain have scored 11 goals through eight different goalscorers, posing threats across the park. The Spain coach echoed his counterpart's statements, even if he admitted "at this stage, it's about winning. "France have a fantastic team. I enjoy watching football. I have fun watching football and it's fun to watch the French." But with Pedri out of the tournament with injury and Spain missing defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin le Normand due to yellow card suspensions, France may sense an opportunity.
- 23:34 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Supreme PerformanceSince a quarter-final defeat by eventual champions Germany at the 2014 World Cup, France have made the final at every major tournament other than Euro 2020. That run includes a World Cup triumph in 2018 and a loss on penalties to Argentina in Qatar four years later, along with an extra-time defeat by Portugal at Euro 2016 on home soil.
- 23:28 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Fragile FranceFrance have only scored three goals at Euro 2024, none of which have come from general play. Misfiring captain Kylian Mbappe, playing in a specialised mask due to a broken nose sustained in the opening fixture against Austria, has scored from the spot once, while the French have benefited from two own goals.
- 23:21 (IST)Spain vs France LIVE: Sensational SpainSpain have lit up Euro 2024, winning all five games while scoring 11 goals and are just one win away from the final. To get there however, Spain will need to go through a France side who while not impressing in Germany have shown their expertise and experience at major tournaments to navigate their way to the final four.
