Live ticker: Spain fights against France for the second final ticket


The second semifinal of the Nations League is another high-profile clash. Will defending champions Spain make it to the final again? The match in Stuttgart will be a special one for one defender.
European champions Spain and World Cup runners-up France will determine the second Nations League finalist on Thursday (9:00 p.m./ARD and DAZN). Numerous top stars are represented in the ranks of the two football superpowers: Spain's attacking talent Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona, Désiré Doué of Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain, and Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid.
For Spain's full-back Marc Cucurella, the return to Germany is likely to be a special one. The Chelsea player's unpunished handball was the major controversy in Germany's European Championship exit against the Spanish giants last year.
The quarter-finals were played at the same venue as the Nations League semi-finals now: in Stuttgart.
