These lineups reflect the teams as they started the match at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Spain: Unai Simon

At the outset of Euro 2024, many discounted Spain as contenders. Their defence appeared vulnerable, their attack lackluster and their manager inexperienced at playing at this level of play. What proved them wrong!

Denmark have proven to be formidable opponents, having defeated Serbia and Switzerland in their initial Nations League matches. Luis de la Fuente will need to make difficult choices among his squad as key players such as Rodri Carvajal are both currently injured.

Unai Simon has returned from injury and should start. Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon has been impressive this season and could start. To protect his goal coefficient he may need to come off early as there will be other goalkeeping options such as Julen Agirrezabala or David Raya who both showed their worth domestically before becoming sought-after international goalies.

Dani Carvajal

Dani Carvajal was instrumental in Spain’s impressive 2-0 win against Denmark in their opening group match, and will play an essential part in helping La Roja maintain that control throughout Qatar. So far he has registered one cross (zero accurate), one tackle won and two interceptions.

Spain must hold off a France team that has struggled at this tournament if they hope to avoid another semifinal defeat. Losing Rodri and Dani Carvajal is painful, but other players must step up to fill these massive shoes.

La Roja should field an established squad and there should be few surprises in its starting XI. That should include Jesus Navas in goal, Nacho Fernandez, Aymeric Laporte and Marc Cucurella as central defenders as well as Jordi Alba, Busquets and Pedri.

Robin Le Normand

Real Sociedad’s defender has been an instrumental piece for both club and country over recent seasons, playing over 40 matches every year since 2020 for his Basque side, earning himself an extension on his contract.

Le Normand was an integral component of France’s national team victory in both the semifinal and final matches of UEFA Nations League, making five appearances totalling 360 minutes over both competitions.

France were impressive winners against England in the marquee final showdown, and Aymeric Laporte should play an integral part against Harry Kane and co in Berlin. Aymeric will pair up with former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte; their outstanding performances have disproved any doubters of his loyalty to their nation.

Aymeric Laporte

Spain is one of the premier national teams in world football, renowned for their innovative tiki-taka style of play which is famed for both efficiency and creativity. Even after losing key players such as Xavi and Iniesta, Spain have still maintained their dominance against opponents.

This team boasts several talented young players, such as Pedri and Rodri. Both possess incredible intelligence that allows them to identify gaps in opposing defense, creating goal-scoring opportunities for their teammates.

The team also boasts a strong bench, which allows them to field multiple options simultaneously. Koke, an experienced midfielder, plays an instrumental role in leading and motivating his squad – one reason they excel so effectively at defensive situations due to his steady composure on the ball.

Marc Cucurella

Cucurella has been capped for Spain at every level since being made available for selection in 1997. He started off the tournament strongly against Russia before helping La Roja come from behind to beat Germany 3-1.

Luis de la Fuente could be without Barcelona defender Gerard Pique against France after suffering a knee injury after colliding with Toni Kroos during their quarter-final win against Germany. Dani Olmo of RB Leipzig could likely fill in as his replacement.

Nacho Fernandez and Aymeric Laporte should provide La Roja with adequate defensive options despite losing Carvajal and Robin Le Normand, with Nacho Fernandez and Aymeric Laporte both fit to start. In midfield, Rodri, Fabian Ruiz should continue alongside Rodri-Olmo duo; Lamine Yamal-Nico Williams are young stars hoping to cause havoc out wide; France manager Didier Deschamps could welcome back Adrien Rabiot from his one-match suspension; potentially replacing Eduardo Camavinga with Juventus star Adrien Rabiot; alternatively Ousmane Dembele could replace Marcus Thuram before selecting Ousmane Dembele over Marcus Thuram

Rodri

Luis de la Fuente’s right back options have been severely reduced without Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand, leaving Nacho as his only replacement in place of Le Normand, while Jesus Navas is expected to start alongside 38-year-old Fabian Ruiz who may provide pace down the left flank alongside Rodri and Lamine Yamal who should both contribute pace down that side of the pitch.

PSG midfielder Lucas was forced out of France’s quarterfinal win against Germany due to an aggressive challenge by Toni Kroos and is expected to return for the final, although it might not be in his usual starting role. Lucas could be replaced by Lucas who has played well with RB Leipzig this tournament or Rayan Cherki who made his first start against Barcelona and proved he can perform under pressure situations. Thierry Henry may use Rayan Cherki instead for big game performances like playing against Barcelona this season and has proven he can deliver under pressure situations; youngster Rayan Cherki has demonstrated his abilities against Barcelona this year as well proving himself worthy.

Dani Olmo

Dani Olmo stands out in modern football as an outstanding wide player who makes sense in today’s game. Hailing from Barcelona, his ability to force markers out of shape while creating effective results made him an essential component of Spain’s new-look attack at Euro 2024.

Luis de la Fuente’s system finds him the perfect complement, having developed as a youngster in La Masia before going onto Germany with RB Leipzig. His presence between the lines invites defenders to break apart, leaving space that only the sharpest players can exploit. From taking on defenders or firing crosses into opponents to creating scoring opportunities with intelligent running — his hat-trick against Bayern Munich in Germany’s Super Cup proved this ability — his inclusion should remain regular in Spain going forward.

Lamine Yamal

Young phenom Javi Rodri has been one of the tournament’s standout players and could make his mark against France, likely lining up alongside Fabian Ruiz and Rodri.

Spain will have to play without Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand who were both banned after amassing too many yellow cards during their quarterfinal win against Germany. Jesus Navas will start on the right side of defense.

Didier Deschamps will welcome back Adrien Rabiot after serving his one-match suspension, who could replace Eduardo Camavinga in the starting lineup. Usman Dembele and Marcus Thuram may also feature as midfielders. France is known for its clublike cohesion and vintage technical quality which it can use to control this contest; ultimately the winner will advance to Sunday’s final against either England or Netherlands.

Alvaro Morata

Luis de la Fuente may opt to start Alvaro Morata up front instead of Diego Costa. Since making his senior debut for Spain in November 2014, Morata has been scoring regularly for his national side and proving a valuable asset for them.

Morata should lead the line for La Roja on Sunday despite experiencing a minor scare prior to kick-off when he was taken down by a security guard while trying to tackle pitch invaders. Atletico Madrid striker Morata should still be fit enough to feature, should his services be needed.

Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand will return from suspension following De la Fuente’s quarterfinal win against Germany to strengthen her defense alongside Jesus Navas and Marc Cucurella. Rodri, Fabian Ruiz and Pedri will occupy midfield with Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal providing flank coverage.

Nico Williams

Luis de la Fuente’s recruitment of Williams and Yamal as Spain wingers signals his intent to build an enjoyable, creative, and stylish side for La Roja. Already making their mark in Germany, the young duo may soon become poster boys for La Roja’s national side.

Both teams could benefit from the absence of injured first-choice goalkeeper Unai Simon and striker Alvaro Morata, both injured due to injury. Though lacking experience compared with Morata, Rodri and Pedri yet, both could make substantial strides forward rapidly.

Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are still dealing with injuries, so Marc Cucurella, Aitor Paredes and Alejandro Grimaldo could also make appearances for Argentina in future matches.
