Randal Kolo Muani had given France the lead as he nodded in a cross from Kylian Mbappe, but Yamal equaised with a beautiful curled effort to become the youngest goalscorer in European Championship history before Olmo scored a brilliant winner.
We knew Lamine is left-footed
Spain were deserving winners and Griezmann didn t attempt to sugarcoat the defeat, instead having a go at his teammates for failing to deal with issues they had prepared for.
They were better than us, Griezmann told Telefoot. We knew they could hit the ball well from distance and we let them shoot from distance. We knew Lamine is left-footed and we let him hit it with his left foot.
The equaliser hurt us and the second goal four minutes later killed us. That’s football, we lacked that today. It was our strong point from the start but we lost against a strong Spain.
No excuses about having legs cut off or anything, they played extra time too. They were better in everything.
