Didier Deschamps acknowledged Spain were superior as France suffered Euro 2024 elimination following their 2-1 semi-final defeat in Munich.
Les Bleus opened the scoring after just eight minutes through Randal Kolo Muani s header, though Lamine Yamal levelled with a long-range stunner, becoming the youngest scorer in major tournament history at the age of just 16 years and 362 days.
Dani Olmo seized on that momentum swing just four minutes later, dancing through the France defence before finishing past Mike Maignan as Jules Kounde was unable to clear on the line.
Spain held on to move into Sunday s final as France opened the scoring and lost for only the second time in a European Championship game, after a 3-2 defeat to the Netherlands in the 2000 group stages.
