France fans miss William Saliba during Spain defeat
France succumbed to a 5-4 defeat in their UEFA Nations League semi-final clash with Spain and the absence of William Saliba has cost them.

One France fan claimed: “Saliba would’ve had Lamine Yamal in his pocket. I’ve no doubt about my guy.”
Whilst another fan stated: “Saliba starts, we win the match. I’m not saying clean sheet, but we would’ve won.”
