What a turnaround!

What a second period!

Led by a score of 2 to 0 before the break, the French team turned the situation around to win 3-2 against Belgium in the semifinals of the League of Nations.

The Blues will challenge Spain in the final.

The France team toppled Belgium 3-2 in the Nations League semi-final on Thursday at Juventus Stadium in Turin, and qualified for the final of the competition where they will face Spain on Sunday in Milan.

Led 2-0 by Belgium at half-time, after two goals in quick succession from Yannick Carrasco (37th) and Romelu Lukaku (40th), the Blues showed a whole different face in the second half, coming back to the score by Benzema ( 62nd) before equalizing on a penalty from Kylian Mbappé (69th) then snatching the victory thanks to the first international goal of Théo Hernandez (90th), for his second selection.

Resilient and stunning, the France team sublimated in half an hour to overcome a revengeful Belgium (3-2) and validate its qualification for the final of the League of Nations, thanks to the ardor of its young international Theo Hernandez, Thursday in Turin.

Dominant for 60 minutes (2-0), Belgium has long believed to be able to soften the bitter memory of the semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

But the world No. 1 selection sank against the world champion, once again, in a scenario much more dramatic than in St. Petersburg three years ago (1-0) ... A revenge that risks to further establish the rivalry between these two neighboring nations.

Spain-France, prestigious poster of the final

The Blues have built their success with patience, revolt and madness.

Karim Benzema reduced the score (62nd), Kylian Mbappé found a smile on the penalty spot (69th), and Theo Hernandez illuminated Juventus stadium with a clear shot at the far post (90th), piercing a helpless Thibaut Courtois.

Spain-France will therefore be the prestigious poster for the final of the second edition of the League of Nations, Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) in Milan, with a second trophy within reach of Didier Deschamps since taking office in 2012.
