Deschamps believes his squad is not the favourite despite France’s unbeaten campaign to the semi-finals. Regarding Spain’s campaign, which started with a 0-0 stalemate against the World Cup rookies, Deschamps remarked, “Forget about the first game against Cape Verde.” “Since then, Spain has reaffirmed its dominance.” Deschamps was referring to the comments made by Lamine Yamal, a 19-year-old prodigy from Spain, following their quarterfinal victory over Belgium.
