France beat Spain to be crowned Nations League champions: Highlights and goals
The reigning world champions emerged victorious in the UEFA Nations League Final as France came from behind to beat Spain 2-1 at San Siro. Here, check out the highlights and goals of this eventful game.
France defeated Spain 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League final at San Siro to become champions in the second edition of the European tournament. Les Bleus claimed the trophy in a memorable come-from-behind win. After an uneventful first half, Spain and France got back to the field with more determination to fight for the victory.
Didier Deschamps' side was close to put itself in front through Theo Hernandez, who hit the woodwork. And they regretted having missed that one, as Mikel Oyarzabal gave Spain the lead in the following play. But that didn't last long.
Just a couple of minutes later, Karim Benzema put things level with a stunning, eyebrow-raising goal in the most intense moment of the match. Les Bleus strengthened themselves from then on and, with nearly ten minutes for the final whistle, Kylian Mbappe handed France the triumph. Check out the highlights and goals here.
