西班牙2比0终结法国三连决赛梦，时隔16年重返世界杯决赛舞台
凭借奥亚萨瓦尔的点球和波罗的推射，西班牙在达拉斯AT&T体育场以一场战术完胜淘汰夺冠热门法国，静候阿根廷与英格兰之间的胜者。
在得克萨斯州阿灵顿举行的2026年世界杯首场半决赛中，西班牙以2比0战胜法国，率先锁定决赛席位。这场胜利不仅让“斗牛士军团”自2010年南非夺冠后首次重返世界杯决赛，也彻底粉碎了法国队连续第三次闯入决赛的希望。比赛第22分钟，卢卡斯·迪涅在禁区内鲁莽踢倒拉明·亚马尔，主裁判伊万·巴顿果断判罚点球，米克尔·奥亚萨瓦尔一蹴而就，让法国队在本届赛事中首次陷入落后局面。
西班牙的战术纪律成为本场比赛的胜负手。路易斯·德拉富恩特的球队通过罗德里和法比安·鲁伊斯主导的中场，牢牢掌控了比赛节奏，将法国队由姆巴佩、登贝莱、奥利塞和巴尔科拉组成的豪华攻击线完全割裂。法国队在整个上半场未能完成一次中目标的射门，其进攻核心姆巴佩多次陷入越位陷阱，表现黯淡。第58分钟，西班牙打出精妙配合，佩德罗·波罗与达尼·奥尔莫完成撞墙式二过一后突入禁区，冷静推射远角得分，将优势扩大为2比0。
此役结果延续了西班牙近年来对阵法国的心理优势。这是西班牙连续第三个夏天在重大赛事的半决赛中淘汰法国，此前两次分别是2024年欧洲杯（2比1）和2025年欧国联（5比4）。年仅19岁的亚马尔再次成为关键人物，他制造的点球为球队打开胜利之门，赛后他也延续了自己在与姆巴佩的11次俱乐部及国家队交锋中赢下9场的纪录。法国队不仅输掉了比赛，还在上半场折损了主力中卫萨利巴，可谓雪上加霜。
对于法国队而言，这场失利标志着主帅德尚14年任期的终点未能画上圆满句号。作为2018年冠军和2022年亚军，这支赛前被视为最大热门的球队，其引以为傲的进攻火力在西班牙的防守体系前完全哑火。西班牙则凭借这场胜利，将各项赛事常规时间不败的纪录延续到37场，展现了欧洲冠军的深厚底蕴。
西班牙将于7月19日在新泽西州东卢瑟福的大都会人寿体育场迎来决赛，对手将是阿根廷与英格兰之间的胜者。法国队则需前往迈阿密，参加18日进行的季军争夺战。
