We now know will today's winner will play on Sunday, after Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to a 2-1 over Germany in the first semi-final yesterday.

Spain are the reigning Nations League champions and, also sitting second in the current FIFA world rankings, you'd be brave to bet against them retaining their crown. It still took a quarter-final penalty shootout against the Netherlands to reach the last four, though. Their fans will hope that Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal, Nico Williams, Pedri and co will give them a more comfortable watch today.

Once upon a time, 26-year-old Kylian Mbappe was the 'Lamine Yamal' of his generation and the Real Madrid superstar will want to show the young pretender that he remains a force to be reckoned with. France lost their first game of this campaign and also needed penalties in the last eight in order to vanquish the stubborn Croatians. After PSG's emphatic Champions League victory last weekend, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé have both made the starting XI in their search for more silverware.

Read on to find out how to watch Spain vs France live streams wherever you are today — and for free.
