AC Milan star Adrien Rabiot has disclosed that the French national team does not fear Spain ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final clash.
He emphasized that France does not need a special anti-Yamal plan and is solely focused on playing a solid, collective match against a highly dangerous Spanish squad.

“We fear no one. Considering the path we’ve taken, I think we come into this semi-final in the best possible shape. It would have been hard to arrive better prepared than this. The pitch will decide, but we’ve done everything we could to be ready.
“No, there is no anti-Yamal plan. We are focusing on Spain as a whole, not on a single player. We know they are a dangerous team in every area of the pitch: in possession, in tight spaces near the box, in their combination play, and with their forwards. We need to focus above all on limiting their system, not just one player.
“We are focused and will prepare for the match in the best possible way. We are confident about the journey we’ve had so far, and it’s right to feel that way, but always with the humility that has set us apart since the start of the competition. Now there’s a place in the final at stake and we hope to go all the way.”

“You can feel a real sense of unity. It’s hard to explain why a certain chemistry develops, but off the pitch we get along very well together and I think that’s one of the main reasons for our success.
“There have also been some tough moments for the coach that have brought us even closer. We also know that this will be his last tournament with the French national team, and that gives us extra motivation.
“All these factors make us feel that this is the right moment.”
