UEFA Nations League Final: Spain vs France

Oct 12, 2021

Before the European Cup, Spain met Italy in the semi-finals and lost the penalty shootout. This time, Spain met the same Italian team in the semi-finals of the Nations League. This time they won 2-1 and advanced to the final. The opponent is the 2018 World Cup winner France.

I think Spain played more tacitly and systematically than in the European Cup, while the French team defended flawlessly, and the whole team was super star-studded. It was a tough battle. It was a stormy sea, and there was no cold scene. It was a high-level and very exciting duel. In 64 minutes, Spain finally scored a goal. I was going to cry at that moment. The one who scored the goal was Mikel ~~Oyarzabel~~ , who I complained about all summer. (He also contributed two assists in the previous game. ~~To play well~~ ), did not expect that just two minutes after the celebration, Karim Benzema helped the French team to tie the score. In the 80th minute, Kylian Mbappé relied on a controversial goal to seal the victory for France.

The stars are like clouds, the strength is strong, and the French team finally won the championship

Obviously, I played pretty well in this game, and there were several chances to break the goal, but the opponent was too strong, and luck was not on my side. I really never hoped that the game would go to overtime 😭 (Taiwan It's a pity that Spain was still unable to tie the French gate in the last ten minutes. Even goalkeeper Unai Simón came to help QQ in stoppage time, but they lost 1-2 with the first goal and were almost tied several times. It’s so uncomfortable 😭 I used to watch football games, as long as Spain meets France, I have the shadow of the 2006 World Cup, I think I will lose in the West, but before today’s game, I seriously think that Spain is not without the possibility of winning . Before the European Cup kicked off this summer, I thought it would be good for the Spanish team, which is in the midst of a transition period, to reach the round of 16. As a result, they were very close to the championship several times, but each time they came close. The strong game lost in the penalty shootout (super oh), the Olympic final lost 1-2 to Brazil, this Nations League final is also a 1-2 loss😭

Although the progress of the team is obvious to all, the handover of generations is gradually maturing, and I know that the team is still too young, but I really want to see them win a championship trophy this year 😭 In this game, the meritorious captain Sergio Busquets played very smartly, It's really comfortable to watch him handle the ball, and players such as Aymeric Laporte, Marcos Alonso, and 17-year-old Pablo Gavi are also doing well.
