Spain forward Lamine Yamal says his side will approach their FIFA World Cup semi-final against France without fear after securing a 2-1 quarter-final victory over Belgium.
The clash in Dallas brings together two of the tournament’s strongest teams, with France chasing a third consecutive FIFA World Cup final appearance while Spain aim to continue their recent dominance over Les Bleus, having won their last two meetings.
“There are two possibilities: either they reach three World Cup finals in a row, or we beat them three times. I don’t know what might happen, but we’re not afraid at all,” Yamal said after Spain’s victory, a Friday report on the FIFA website disclosed this.
“I’m really happy with the win. Back in the semi-finals again. That’s what we came here for – to play these matches and win them. Now it’s time to rest and start thinking about the match against France.”
Yamal was named the Superior Player of the Match following another influential display as Mikel Merino’s late winner sealed Spain’s place in the last four.
