Before a champion is crowned, Germany and France will face off in a UEFA Nations League third place consolation game after both sides fell short in the semifinals.
Germany were bested by a Portugal side that came out guns blazing in the second half. Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal was the difference maker as the host country was defeated. For France, they looked overmatched and outclassed by Luis de la Fuente’s Spain for the first 55 minutes. The UEFA Euro winners scored four unanswered goals before Kylian Mbappé got Les Bleus on the scoresheet. Lamine Yamal answered back with his second of the game marking Spain’s fifth.
