Muchodepodcast: A LA FINAL | FRANCIA 0-2 ESPAÑA

There are matches you win, and there are matches that transcend the scoreline. Spain defeated France 2-0 in the World Cup semifinals, not only securing their place in their second World Cup final but also delivering a performance that will forever be etched in the memory of the entire nation. Against a talented opponent considered one of the favorites, Luis de la Fuente's team put on a truly spectacular display. He is the name on everyone's lips at the World Cup: Luis de la Fuente. The man from La Rioja has revitalized Spanish football. His management of the squad and the team over the last three years has been phenomenal: the Nations League title, the European Championship, and now, the World Cup final. He once again benched Pedri, opting for Fabián, and the player from Los Palacios proved he is one of the best in his position. He never loses with Spain. Dani Olmo was sensational between the lines, the center-backs neutralized some of the best attackers in the world, and Pedro Porro was once again decisive with a stunning goal. It wasn't Lamine Yamal's game again, but it didn't need to be. France, overwhelmed by Spain's onslaught of football, eventually surrendered and accepted that there was indeed a team on Earth capable of defeating them. Alejandro Luna, Lucas Haurie, and Fali Pineda analyze Spain's victory and their chances in the final—we'll see if it's against Argentina or England—in a podcast that also includes a discussion of Sevilla and Betis's transfer activity: Nianzou's departure and Manu Fajardo's contract extension until 2030.
