Spain vs France TV channel and live stream: How to watch Nations League clash
Spain and France will lock horns tonight as both sides look to claim a place in the Nations League final.
The reigning European Champions Spain are also the current holders of the Nations League, but face a tough task against France who won this competition back in 2021.
Didier Deschamps' side is littered with youthful talent, with many, such as Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, turning up for international duty just a matter of days after their Champions League triumph with Paris Saint-Germain.
Both sides needed the help of penalties to come through their Nations League quarter-final clashes, with Spain overcoming the Netherlands and France edging past Croatia.
The winner on Thursday will take on Portgual in the final after they won 2-1 against Germany on away soil.
Ahead of kick-off in the Nations League semi-final, here's everything you need to know, including the team news, match odds and how to watch the game on TV and live stream in the UK.
The Nations League semi-final kicks off at 8pm at the MHPArena in Stuttgart, with coverage starting at 7.45pm.
Fans can watch Spain vs France live on Amazon Prime, with coverage of the game also available on pay-per-view for £2.49.
Dean Huijsen could make a start for Spain after completing his move from Bournemouth to Real Madrid.
However, the semi-final comes too soon for Rodri who made his return from a lengthy ACL layoff at the end of the Premier League season.
Elsewhere in midfield, Isco could be in line for a start after his impressive form for Real Betis in what would mark his first international appearance since 2019.
France, meanwhile, will have to manage the fitness of several PSG stars following their Champions League triumph last weekend.
Deschamps will also have to rotate his back line, with Dayot Upamecano, William Saliba and Jules Kounde all absent through injury.
Spain: 5/4

‘No one gets abuse like him' – ex-Rangers boss Philippe Clement says fan treatment of Gers star is unfair
PHILIPPE CLEMENT has backed Rangers' top goalscorer Cyriel Dessers and insisted: Nobody else gets the same flak. Belgian Clement started a transformation in the form of the striker after becoming Gers boss in October, 2023, following a struggle for form after Michael Beale signed him from Cremonese for £4.5 million. 2 Philippe Clement reckons the abuse of Cyriel Dessers is unjust Credit: Willie Vass Dessers, though, has still suffered from split fans opinion about his capabilities - despite even finishing last season as the Premiership's top scorer and overall hitting 29 goals. In total, the Nigerian international has notched 51 goals in 108 games. But doubts remain over his long term Ibrox future with new head coach Russell Martin now weighing up the squad he's inherited from the Clement era. But Martin's predecessor can't believe there's not more appreciation of the 30-year-old frontman. Clement said: 'I think Cyriel gets abuse like nobody else in the club or on the pitch at least. 'But he always was there to work hard, to do everything for the club every day, every training, every game. 'Also, in his career, he never scored as many goals as he did at Rangers. 'In the end he performed really well with his qualities. 'I think he was top scorer at the end of the season. 'Of course fans always want more, but I think Cyriel, if he played in a team that won the league, then he would be for everybody a good player. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss 'But if you don't win the league then for the fans you are not a good player any more. 'That's life at Rangers.' When we did our deep dive into how Martin could transform Rangers ahead of the new season, we couldn't find a place for Dessers in the starting XI. Hamza Igamane will fancy his chances of kicking on and there's been reported interest from Gers in Premier League cult hero Jamie Vardy, 38, and another striker at the other end of his career, 21-year-old Dor Turgeman. 2 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Kylian Mbappe responds to claims he left PSG for Real Madrid 'too soon' - after his former club won the Champions League without him
France captain Kylian Mbappe faced questions about Paris Saint-Germain 's Champions League triumph when he addressed the media on the eve of Sunday's UEFA Nations League third-place playoff against Germany. Mbappe left PSG to join Real Madrid last summer, ending his seven-year stay in Paris. He netted 256 goals in 308 games for PSG, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer. He also helped deliver 15 trophies to the Parc des Princes, but was unable to achieve European success. Part of the motivation behind his move to Madrid was the belief it would improve his chances of winning the Champions League — with Real having conquered Europe a record 15 times. However, Mbappe's first shot at Euro glory with Los Blancos ended in a 5-1 quarter-final defeat by Arsenal. PSG then beat Arsenal in the semis, before thrashing Inter Milan in last weekend's final in Munich. During Saturday's press conference, it was put to Mbappe that perhaps he had made a mistake by leaving PSG a little too early. But the 26-year-old hit back: 'I didn't leave too soon; my story with PSG was over. 'I am not bitter; I had reached the end of the road. I tried everything, and it was destiny that meant it had to happen without me. 'PSG winning the Champions League without me doesn't affect me. I was happy. I think they deserved it.' Mbappe was on the scoresheet on Thursday night when France fell to a thrilling 5-4 defeat by Spain in their Nations League semi-final. Spain will now face Portugal in Sunday's final after Cristiano Ronaldo and Co overcame hosts Germany 2-1 on Wednesday. The final will take place at Munich's Allianz Arena — which also staged PSG's win over Inter last weekend — after the game for third place is played in Stuttgart.
