Everything about the quarter-final between Spain and France
🇪🇸 Spain
"Mundo Deportivo": "What a beast! This was Lamine Yamal's record-breaking goal against France. The Barça striker scored a beautiful goal to restore the tie on the scoreboard after Kolo Muani had scored for France."
"AS": "Lamine makes Spain happy. A great goal from the Blaugrana starts a comeback that Olmo crowns with another great move."
"Sport.es ": "A Spanish team to fall in love with"
"Marca": "Spain reach the final of the European Championship in brilliant fashion, with an anthology goal from Lamine Yamal and another from Dani Olmo."
🇫🇷 France
"L'Équipe": "The eyes are red. Spain ends the adventure of the Équipe Tricolore! La Roja led at the break thanks to goals from Yamal and Olmo within four minutes and advanced to the European Championship final after a controlled second half. Tchouaméni and Mbappé were denied by the Spanish goalkeeper."
Le Monde: "A bitter end for overstretched Les Bleus. France lost 2-1 to a superior Spain in the European Championship semi-final, once again falling victim to their inefficiency and their dependence on an out-of-form Kylian Mbappé."
"Le Figaro": "Carried by a historic Lamine Yamal, La Roja dominated the French national team and punched their ticket to the final on July 14."
"RMC Sport: " "Although they took the lead through Kolo Muani, Les Bleus collapsed in the first half and were unable to fight back after the break. France are out, while La Roja will challenge England or the Netherlands in Berlin on Sunday."
"Le Parisien": "That was it. Les Bleus had taken the lead against the best attack of the European Championship through Randal Kolo Muani, but conceded two goals within four minutes."
🇩🇪 Germany
"Bild": "That was YAMAL a goal. Great goal from the 16-year-old. Spain in the FINAL."

🏴 England
"The Sun: "La Roja take Mbappé and Co. by surprise after Yamal makes history with thunderbolt."
"The Telegraph": "Lamine Yamal could well still be at Euro 2044. But Europe's most celebrated schoolboy footballer is currently just one game away from scaling the heights that some of the greats have never reached in their entire careers."
"The Guardian": "Lamine Yamal's wonder goal takes Spain past France in the Euro 2024 final. (...) Perhaps this is how new empires are born. (...) Spain have taken the hardest route to Berlin, beating Italy, Croatia and Germany and now France."
"Daily Mail": "Yamal's magic knocks France out."
🇮🇹 Italy
"Gazzetta dello Sport": "After a goal like that, you can say it was Messi's hand. When Lamine Yamal fired Spain into the European Championship final (...), memories of that blessed bath sixteen years ago came flooding back. Leo took him in his arms, smiled at him and drew his path."
SportNews: "The Spanish national football team has reached the final of the European Championship. France, on the other hand, plunged into a valley of tears. A record 16-year-old was the player of the match."
🇨🇭 Switzerland
"Blick": "Falling behind early, but reacting quickly with a double strike. Spain beat France 2:1 in the European Championship semi-final in Munich. Outstanding: Lamine Yamal with his wonder goal (...). The Spanish wonderkid thus replaces Johan Vonlanthen (18 years, 141 days) as the youngest European Championship goalscorer. With - watch out - 16 years and 362 days!"
"20 Minuten": "Lamine Yamal leads Spain into the European Championship final with a historic goal - and breaks two records in the process (...). In 1958, at 17 years and 244 days, Pele became the youngest player ever to appear in a World Cup or European Championship semi-final. At the age of 16, Yamal can only laugh at this, as he easily broke this record. And not only that. He is now also the youngest ever goalscorer at a European Championship!"
