In a UEFA European League semi-final in the early morning of this morning, Spain narrowly defeated France 5-4 and successfully advanced to the final. Spanish rising star Yamal scored twice in the game, becoming the focus of the game and was named the best player of the game. After the game, Yamal said in an interview: "France is a very strong team, and they have created a lot of difficulties for us, which is predictable. But we are very happy with this victory, and I hope to bring this trophy back to Spain."

When asked about the upcoming final with Portugal, Yamal said: "We know that the outside world has a lot of expectations for us, but we must first focus on continuing to win. The hardest thing in football is to keep winning, and this is what we are trying to do."

It is worth mentioning that this final means Yamal will have the opportunity to face the head-on battle with his idol, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. In this regard, Yamal expressed his excitement: "Ronardo is a football legend, and we all respect him very much. It is an honor to be able to compete with him. Of course, my mission is clear, that is, to help the team win the game."

In another semi-final the day before, Ronaldo, 40, scored a goal for Portugal, helped the team defeat Germany 2-1 and entered the UEFA League final. Previously, he led Portugal to the first UEFA European League championship in the 2018/19 season.

This peak showdown will be held on June 9, when Yamal and Ronaldo's "intergenerational dialogue" will undoubtedly become one of the biggest highlights.
