In addition, that was 20 years ago, back in the day when Les Bleus very much had La Roja’s number (the Euro 84 final, the Euro 2000 quarters, all that).
Reports also note that spain have had the better of the competition football since. Further context suggests wins in the Euro 2012 quarters and the Euro 2024 semis, plus an absurd 5-4 victory in last year’s Nations League semis. Further context suggests france did victory the 2021 Nations League final, though.
