After Spain eliminated France 2-0 in the World Cup semi-finals, AS football editor Roncero analyzed the match in a video.

Roncero said: "Friends, we did it. We have entered the final sprint, the last chapter of another wonderful dream, just like we experienced in South Africa. It's all so similar. Remember in that tournament, we met Portugal in the round of 16 and won 1-0. Remember in the quarterfinals we had a tough game, that time against Paraguay, and this time against Belgium. And in the semi-finals, that time we defeated the then-invincible Germany, and today we defeated the invincible France.

Beautiful similarities. In fact, the broadcast just showed the VIP box, where Casillas, Puyol, Ramos, and Xavi were all present. I think destiny owes us this joy. Let's go for the second star. Let's go for the second star at all costs. Don't forget that we defeated France, the top favorite to win the championship. Yes, gentlemen, we defeated France, a strong team with Mbappe, Olise, Doué, Barcola, Tchouaméni, and Saliba.

But they are just a collection of stars, and we have the pride of a team that plays like a family, like brothers. We fight side by side like brothers, supporting each other, and this unity is like everyone going to put out a fire together. This is Spain, we will stand up no matter what. This is a united team, an all-around team, a concerted team, where everyone is involved in pressing, protecting teammates, and not letting anyone fall behind.

France didn't even have a shot on goal. Tell me, what scoring opportunities did France have? They had no chances at all. France had no scoring opportunities tonight. Why? Because we didn't give them any chance to shoot. Even though Olise, Barcola, Mbappe were on the field, and Doué came on in the second half, as well as Dembélé. But the Spanish team played with pride, we plucked the feathers of the Gallic rooster.

Sorry, Kylian. I will love you very much when you come to Real Madrid, but today you understand why Spain is different. You understand why Spain is the greatest in the world. Although you speak fluent Spanish, I think you originally wished you were born in Spain. Boy, you should have been born in Spain, then you would understand all this, and in Spain you would win.

We are too good, but we must not be complacent. A tough final awaits us, but we are going to New York. That's right, New York, New York. We are going there! Because we are Spain! We have beaten France again! This is the fourth consecutive time we have beaten the French. French friends, don't be angry. We will treat you to Spanish tortilla, not your kind, which is too bland. Spanish tortilla! Spain, OLE! OLE! OLE! To New York!"
