Spain secured a thrilling 5-4 victory over France in a historic UEFA Nations League semifinal on June 5, 2025, marking the highest-scoring match in the tournament’s history. This impressive win advances Spain to an Iberian final against Portugal, scheduled for June 8 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
In Stuttgart, Spain took control early, building a commanding 5-1 lead thanks to goals from Nico Williams, Mikel Merino, Lamine Yamal (who scored twice), and Pedri. Despite this strong advantage, France launched a spirited comeback with goals from Kylian Mbappé, Rayan Cherki, an own goal by Dani Vivian, and a stoppage-time header from Randal Kolo Muani, closing the gap to 5-4. However, Spain managed to hold on for the victory.
Seventeen-year-old Lamine Yamal was the standout player, netting two goals and providing an assist. His performance made him the youngest player in Spanish history to score twice in a senior international match, highlighting his potential as a rising star in world football.
This win extends Spain’s unbeaten streak in competitive matches to 24, reinforcing their status as a dominant force in international football. The upcoming final against Portugal promises an exciting clash between emerging talents and experienced players as Spain seeks their second Nations League title.
