   • Location: Olympic Stadium, Kyiv

• France vs. Spain (0-2)
  • Date: June 23, 2012

Key Players

• Samir Nasri: Scored a crucial goal against England but later clashed with the media, causing some controversy off the field.
• Franck Ribéry: Played an active role in the attack but couldn't have the decisive impact expected of him.
• Hugo Lloris: The goalkeeper and captain was reliable throughout the tournament, though he couldn't stop Spain’s superiority in the quarterfinal.

Manager:

Laurent Blanc was in charge of the French team during Euro 2012. After a mixed tournament, Blanc stepped down as head coach following the team’s elimination.
