In a crucial semifinal match between Spain and France at Euro 2024, Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente faced challenges due to player suspensions and injuries. Defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin le Normand were suspended, leading to their replacements Jesús Navas and Nacho tasked with marking France's star striker Kylian Mbappé. Midfielder Pedri's unfortunate knee injury against Germany ruled him out of the tournament, with Dani Olmo stepping in to fill his role after a stellar performance in the previous match.

France coach Didier Deschamps made strategic changes by dropping Antoine Griezmann for Ousmane Dembélé, who impressed in the quarterfinal against Portugal. Adrien Rabiot's return from suspension saw Eduardo Camavinga moving to the bench as the only other change in the French lineup.
