What a game — a true clash of footballing philosophies. Spain, the most complete team in this tournament, built not on individualism but on collective identity, rooted in La Masia and heavily represented by Barcelona's DNA, against France, arguably the most dangerous offensive side in the world. I wrote a few days ago that Spain's philosophy sets them apart — and Luis de la Fuente proved it tonight. I cannot remember a team that made France chase the ball for 90 minutes the way Spain did — defending with discipline, neutralizing French firepower, and shifting seamlessly from side to side with surgical precision. La Roja extended their unbeaten streak to 37 consecutive matches. No team has tormented France more recently — eliminating them in UEFA Euro 2024 and the 2025 UEFA Nations League semifinal. This was arguably the finest match of the tournament. Congratulations to La Roja. https://lnkd.in/gMTTtjpN
