The UEFA Nations League final is set after Spain defeated France 5-4 on Thursday in a wild semifinal. After going ahead 2-0 in the first half via Nico Williams and Mikel Merino, Spain wouldn't let up and now will join Portugal in the final, despite seeing France come somewhat close to tying it. Even with that early lead, the goals wouldn't let up with Lamine Yamal netting a second-half brace while Kylian Mbappe scored one goal and assisted another.
