Spain and France will lock horns with each other at the Allianz Arena in over an hour in the semi-finals of the UEFA Euro 2024.

And, Barcelona will have a solitary representative in the starting lineup for the Spanish national team tonight in Germany.

Indeed, Barça teenage wonderkid Lamine Yamal starts for Spain, continuing in his usual position on the right flank.

In doing so, the teenager becomes the youngest-ever footballer to start a semi-final match in the European Championships or the FIFA World Cup, surpassing Brazil legend Pele.

However, two other Barça players, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres, are named on the bench.

Meanwhile, Barcelona transfer target Nico Williams also starts out on the left wing where he will be coming up against the Blaugrana’s Jules Kounde, who is a certainty at right-back for France.

Another player of interest for Barça, Dani Olmo, starts as the No. 10 replacing Pedri who is out of the tournament through injury.
