Spain's Lamine Yamal says he feels no pressure ahead of Tuesday's FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final against France, calling it the biggest match of his career. Coach Luis de la Fuente urged his players to enjoy the occasion as Spain chase their first World Cup final since 2010. France, unbeaten and yet to concede in the knockouts, aim for a third straight World Cup final.
Dallas (Texas): Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal said he is embracing the biggest challenge of his career rather than feeling burdened by expectations as La Roja prepare to take on France in the first semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 at Dallas Stadium on Tuesday (local time).
Spain are aiming to reach their first FIFA World Cup final since lifting the trophy in South Africa in 2010, while France are seeking a third consecutive appearance in the tournament's summit clash after winning the title in 2018 and finishing runners-up in 2022.
Despite the magnitude of the occasion, the Barcelona forward insisted he feels no burden heading into the clash.
"We know how to cope with adversity. And as for pressure, well, I don't feel it," said Yamal during the pre-match press conference, according to FIFA.
