Lamine Yamal says France should be the team feeling the pressure ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup semi-final after insisting Spain have nothing to fear from Didier Deschamps’ side. Spain booked their place in the last four thanks to Mikel Merino’s late winner against Belgium, while France overcame Morocco to continue their bid for a third consecutive World Cup final appearance.
