After Spain’s 2-0 semi-final victory over France in the 2026 World Cup, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville expressed his disbelief.
As much as Les Bleus wanted to win, they’ll have to settle for third place in the playoffs. La Roja advanced to the final, where they will meet either England or Argentina, thanks to a penalty kick by Mikel Oyazarbal and a calm finish by Pedro Porro.
“I believe we are in bit of shock,” Neville stated on ITV. We were all in France, and they were really floored.
“What a spectacular display of Spanish talent.
It would be easy to tell which side was better by looking at the two fullbacks. Against France’s wide players, Cucurella and Porro shone. Meanwhile, Digne had a tough time.
