In the semi-final match where Spain defeated France 2-1, during the attempt to stop a fan who entered the field, Spain captain Morata was subjected to a harsh intervention. Morata's leg got caught in the grass and he got injured. This situation raised concerns about whether he would be able to play in the final match on Sunday. However, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente stated that the situation is not serious and they will wait and see.

The incident began when a fan entered the field trying to join in the celebrations of the Spanish team after their 2-1 victory over France in the semi-finals. A member of the security team tried to stop this person from entering the field and accidentally made a harsh sliding tackle on Morata.

The contact looked quite bad and Morata's leg got caught in the grass. While his teammates continued with the celebrations, Morata limped around the field.

RISK OF MISSING THE FINAL

There are concerns that the Spanish captain may miss the final, which will be played on Sunday against either England or the Netherlands. Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente said after the match, "We will wait until tomorrow. We don't think it's anything serious. His leg was hurting, but we hope he will be fine,"

Spain reached the final with a 2-1 victory over France, and Lamine Yamal made history. He equalized for Spain with a fantastic goal from 22 meters, making him the youngest goalscorer in the history of the European Championship at the age of 16 years and 362 days. This goal surpassed the previous record holder Johan Vonlanthen, who scored for Switzerland at Euro 2004 at the age of 18 years and 141 days.

HELPED LAMINE YAMAL SHINE

Morata was appointed as the team captain by Spain's coach Luis De La Fuente before the tournament. Although he is not always the top scorer, his selflessness has helped players like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams shine.
