Spain defeated France 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup semi-final to book only their second-ever appearance in the tournament's final. Teen star Lamine Yamal won the penalty that opened the scoring and later declared, "New York, we're coming for you," as Spain now prepares to face either Argentina or England in Sunday's title clash.

Arlington (Texas): Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has already turned his attention to the FIFA World Cup 2026 final after helping La Roja defeat France 2-0 in the semi-finals, declaring on social media that the team is ready for the title clash in New York.

Shortly after Spain secured their place in only their second FIFA World Cup final, Yamal shared pictures from the match on Instagram with the caption, "nuevayol vamos por ti," which translates to, "New York, we're coming for you."

The 19-year-old played a key role in Spain's victory at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where he was one of two teenagers, alongside Pau Cubarsi, to start for La Roja. It marked the first time in FIFA World Cup history that two teenagers started for the same team in a semi-final.

Spain produced a composed display to outclass France and book a place in the World Cup final for the first time since lifting the trophy in 2010.
