France’s Rabiot says there’s no anti-Yamal plan for Spain showdown
France midfielder Adrien Rabiot dismissed claims of an 'anti-Lamine Yamal plan' ahead of the World Cup 2026 semi-final against Spain, insisting the focus is on the Spanish team as a whole. He warned that Spain’s threats come from Yamal and their dangerous attack, noting their ball possession and movement near the box. Despite earlier tensions with Yamal, Rabiot said he doesn’t remember those exact statements and stressed that the match will be decided on the pitch; the winner advances to the final against Argentina or England.
