STORYLINE:
Soccer fans supporting Spain and France cheered and waved flags as they arrived at a stadium in Munich ahead of semifinals of the European Championship on Tuesday.
Spain has been one of the highest-scoring teams of the tournament, while France – led by Kylian Mbappé – has been one of the lowest.
Kickoff is at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT) in Munich.
The winner will play England or the Netherlands in the final on Sunday in Berlin.
Their semifinal is on Wednesday.
Spain’s and France’s quarterfinals both went to extra time. Substitute Mikel Merino’s game-winning goal in the last minute of extra time handed Spain a 2-1 victory over host nation Germany, while France needed penalties to see off Portugal after the match ended goalless.
No France player has scored from open play at Euro 2024. The French have scored only through two own goals and a penalty from Mbappé. Spain has netted 11 times.
Mbappé, who will be facing several of his new Real Madrid teammates, will again be wearing a protective mask after sustaining a broken nose in France’s group opener against Austria.
Spain, which is chasing a record fourth European Championship title, has been perfect in Germany. It was the only team to win all of its group matches, while France could muster only draws against Poland and the Netherlands after a narrow win over Austria.
