Atletico Madrid man Yannick Carrasco fired Belgium into the lead in the 37th minute, with Romelu Lukaku doubling their advantage three minutes later. The French comeback began in the second half; Real Madrid marksman Karim Benzema pulled one back in the 62nd minute before long-term Madrid target and Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe equalised from the spot in the 69th. Then, Theo Hernandez won it for France at the death.

As a result, Spain will face France this Sunday evening at San Siro with the chance to take the Nations League title from Portugal on the cards. Luis Enrique’s squad selection has proved controversial back home, but if he can secure Spain their first silverware since Euro 2012 he’ll be truly vindicated.
