Spain's national soccer team, led by head coach Luis de la Fuente, came from behind to win 2-1 against France in the Euro 2024 semifinals at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 10th (Korea time). Spain lost a point to Randal Kolo Muani in the 9th minute of the first half and was dragged 0-1. However, he won the game by combining Lamine Yamal's equalizer in the 21st minute of the first half and Dani Olmo's come-from-behind goal four minutes later. Spain will play the winner of the Netherlands-England match at 4 a.m. on the 15th.
Spain couldn't smile broadly despite the thrilling come-from-behind victory. This is because Morata emerged during the ceremony. British media outlet The Sun reported that `Spain's own security personnel accidentally hit Morata during the celebration. Security made a sliding tackle on Morata. Morata seemed to suffer quite badly. He was seen limping on the field. There is a concern that we could miss the final round. Director Fuente "I think we'll have to wait for now. He has a sore leg. I hope he'll be all right."

The Sun added 'Morata was appointed captain before this tournament. He didn't score many goals, but his selflessness helped Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams shine. The moment Spain went to the final should have been the pinnacle of his career. But he will sweat because of the injury. Morata also said he would retire from the national team after the tournament.
Morata said "This could be the last tournament for Spain. It is hard to be happy in Spain. Because others respect me."
