LAMINE YAMAL, DÉCLARATIONS PROVOCATRICES envers la FRANCE après ESPAGNE 2 - BELGIQUE 1 | MVP

He didn't need to score or provide an assist to be named Man of the Match in the Spain-Belgium game, which qualified La Roja to face France in the World Cup semi-finals. A match to remember for the Barça player, who had already scored a magnificent goal in the same semi-finals, but during the last European Championship. "With a lot of desire. Everyone was waiting for this match and we are the two best teams in the World Cup. Without any fear," the Spanish number 19 declared in the mixed zone. He's looking forward to France and Mbappé. Very happy and already focused on the next match. I'm happy to have qualified and I felt good. Is he frustrated about not scoring that goal? I'm not frustrated, I won the Euros with only one goal. As long as we go through, I'll be very happy. The important thing is the team. He's asked about his brother, Keyne. That's what made him smile the most. Yesterday I was at the physio's and he called me on my mom's phone to tell me he was going to stick his tongue out at me. I can't wait to have dinner and celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, but also to be with my family. MVP, and France is coming. With a lot of desire. Everyone was waiting for this match and we are the two best teams in the World Cup. Without any fear. If anyone can go there with peace of mind, it's us. You seem happy. Happy because we're in the semi-finals. Better feeling, and I'm going to improve every week. Very happy. What are you expecting? A team that will come at you, but not for the whole match. They are very physical, but we're going to try to keep possession. How are you feeling? I'm coming in with a lot of confidence and I know everything will go well. I'm ready. I can't wait for this day to arrive. He scored against France in the semi-final... I hope so, I really want to. #lamineyamal #worldcup #worldcup2026 #spainteam #spain #fifaworldcuponyt
