What is at stake for France and Spain?

The stakes could not be much higher on Tuesday evening, as France and Spain lock horns for the right to play in Saturday's 2026 World Cup final against England or Argentina.

France were last winners in 2018 and then lost to Argentina in the 2022 final, but Spain are aiming to reach for their first World Cup final since winning the tournament in 2010.

The duo were regarded as pre-tournament favourites, so it is not a surprise to see them in the final four, and two of the best players in world football will go head-to-head in this match, with France's Kylian Mbappe taking on Spain's Lamine Yamal.

Spain beat a tricky Belgium 2-1 in the semi-finals, while France were 2-0 winners over a strong Morocco outfit to advance to the final four.

La Roja lead the overall head-to-head record between the two sides, having won 18 of their previous 38 meetings across all competitions, suffering 13 defeats and drawing the other seven.
