Press roundup: France v Spain and the Mbappé verdict! | OneFootball

This Saturday, July 11, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, as far as Paris Saint-Germain is concerned, on president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who will have to adapt as the law should prevent him from keeping all of his roles. There is also, and above all, Spain joining the French national team in the 2026 World Cup semi-final on Tuesday (kick-off at 9 p.m.), with news on striker Kylian Mbappé’s (27) ankle pain.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

This may be the semi-final everyone was expecting, with two teams that have been impressive lately and whose rivalry has been growing with each recent meeting. Including the Euro 2024 semi-final won by Spain after a clear display of dominance. France will want to confirm its progress, while the Spanish will look to show they have maintained their edge. It is clear that a place in the final will be hard to secure. It should be a match of the highest level, with immense quality on both sides.

In particular, there are especially solid defenses, with Spain having conceded only 1 goal and France 2 since the start of the World Cup. Of course, there are also very well-equipped attacking units. Very good news for Les Bleus, Mbappé should be available without any issue. The ankle pain was only a minor scare.
