Only four players from France's 2018 World Cup-winning squad remain as veterans inspire the next generation before facing Spain in the semifinal.

France's current squad features just four survivors from their 2018 World Cup triumph: Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, N'Golo Kanté, and Lucas Hernández. Thirteen players were runners-up in Qatar 2022, while the rest lack World Cup experience.

As legends like Thierry Henry inspire the young French squad, they prepare to face Spain in Tuesday's semifinal, hoping to build on past success. newsindata.org
