Perfectly suppressing them! The Spain midfielder brings back a “masterpiece of the world”
On July 15 Beijing time, in the World Cup semifinal France faced Spain. Ormó repeatedly carried out agile dribbling and precise link-ups in midfield, continuously pushing the team’s attacks. His outstanding performance made many fans think of Iniesta, as the Spain midfielder once again recreated a “masterpiece of the world.” In the match video, it can be seen that Ormó receives the ball in midfield. Zhumameni presses in from the left, Barcola sticks on from behind, Deinedele blocks from the right, and Rabiot intercepts from the front. Four French players surrounded him like four walls, but Ormó’s feet seemed to have magic—continuous changes of direction, turns, and ball protection—calmly pulling the ball out of the encirclement. That moment made countless old fans feel like time had gone back—at the 2012 European Championship final, Spain thrashed Italy 4-0, with Iniesta strolling in ease as he was surrounded and hassled by five Italian players; that photo was permanently captured as a “masterpiece of the world” in football history. Fourteen years later, Ormó completed a near-identical recreation on the World Cup semifinal stage. After the match, he posted that four-man encirclement photo on social media—no need for more words, the whole world understood it. This is not coincidence; it is the inheritance of Spanish football genes. From “Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets” to Ormó and Pedri, the midfield aesthetics of the bullfighting legion have never been cut off. If Ormó’s individual performance is the main character of this “masterpiece,” then Spain’s entire team’s attacking combinations are every precise stroke drawn on the canvas—
In the 20th minute, while French defender Digne turned his back in the box to clear, he recklessly stuck out a foot and knocked down Yamal, who was speeding through. Penalty. Oyasábal stepped up and scored—Spain led 1-0. This was the first time this World Cup that France faced being behind. Oyasábal also matched the Spain World Cup goals record held by Butragueño and Villa for a single tournament with five goals.
But what truly killed the match was the goal in the 58th minute—one that could be considered a textbook example of team football. Spain kept passing in the attacking third. Poro played a diagonal pass. Ormó turned his back and set a wall, and Poro quickly burst forward to drive it into the goal. From circulation to setting up the chance to arriving in support to finishing—smooth, seamless, one breath to the end.
Across the whole match, Spain completely strangled France’s attack with extreme ball control and midfield squeezing. Rodry limited Olissé, cutting off the French attacking hub. On the right side, Yamal surged at Digne, turning France’s left flank into a sieve. France’s midfield core Olissé lost possession 20 times all match—highest of everyone. Faced with Rodry’s calm control of the game, he was utterly lost.
Where is Spain’s attack so strong? It’s strong because they let France never really get the ball. The ball possession across the match was slowly consumed at Spain’s feet, while the French acted as if they were chasing shadows, running around futilely.
2-0. After the 2010 South Africa World Cup, Spain reached the final for only the second time in their history. It’s also Spain’s third consecutive year and third straight time to eliminate France in semifinal matches at major international tournaments—Euro 2024, Nations League 2025, and World Cup 2026. France’s previous record of four straight wins in World Cup semifinals ended here.
Even more heartbreaking is that—this day happened to be France’s National Day. The Spaniards delivered their most bitter gift on the French holiday with a complete victory.
In the 86th minute, trailing 0-2, France captain Mbappé deliberately crashed into and then elbowed Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón during a challenge. Yellow card. For the whole match, he looked like he was sleepwalking—zero shots on target, and his presence was so low it was hard to believe.
When the whistle blew, Mbappé lifted his jersey to cover his mouth, unwilling to accept it. This was the first time since he had taken part in three World Cups that he missed the final. Coach Deschamps stepped forward to embrace and comfort him, but anyone could read the loneliness in that moment. In the post-match interview, Mbappé’s words were full of bitterness: “We didn’t play the match we wanted. Whether in the tactical side, the technical side, or in our overall performance level, we didn’t meet the requirements. When you don’t do what you should in a World Cup semifinal like this, you can’t win.”
He dissected France’s all-around collapse: “We made too many technical mistakes. We allowed the opponent to control the tempo. Fabian Ruiz and Rodry always had enough time to organize the attack, and in our pressing we also lacked communication. We should have created more one-on-one confrontations to make the opponent start running. And when we regained possession, our passing also didn’t meet the standard required for a World Cup semifinal.” “Like everyone else, we’re extremely disappointed. Reaching the final is something we’ve long dreamed of… the disappointment is hard to put into words.”
Perfect suppression! Spain midfielder brings back a “world-famous masterpiece”
On July 15 (Beijing time), in the World Cup semifinal, France faced Spain. In midfield, Olmo repeatedly completed agile dribbles and precise link-up passes, continuously pushing the team’s attacks. His outstanding performance made many fans think of Iniesta—Spain’s midfield recreated a “world-famous masterpiece.” As the match video shows, when Olmo received the ball in midfield, Joãoaméni closed him down from the left, Barcola pressed from behind, Dembélé blocked from the right, and Rabiot intercepted from the front. The four French players closed in like four walls, but with the ball at his feet, Olmo seemed to work magic—continuously changing direction, turning, and shielding the ball, calmly extracting it from the trap. That moment made countless old-school fans feel like it was the next day—at the 2012 European Championship final, Spain thrashed Italy 4-0. Iniesta strolled calmly as he was surrounded and harried by five Italian players, and that photo was permanently etched as a “world-famous masterpiece” in football history. Fourteen years later, Olmo used almost the same posture to complete a recreation of the legend on the World Cup semifinal stage. After the match, he posted that photo of the four-player surround on social media—no further explanation needed; the whole world understood. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the inheritance of Spain’s football gene. From “Xavi-Hernández, Iniesta, Busquets” to Olmo and Pedri, the bullfighters’ midfield aesthetics have never been cut off. If Olmo’s personal performance is the main character of this “masterpiece,” then Spain’s entire team’s attacking combinations are every precise stroke on the canvas—
In the 20th minute, while French defender Digne turned his back inside the box to clear recklessly by sticking his foot out, he knocked down Yamal, who was speeding infield. A penalty. Oyarzabal stepped up and converted to make it 1-0 for Spain—this was the first time France in this World Cup had faced going behind. Oyarzabal also matched the World Cup goals record for Spanish players in a single tournament with those 5 goals, leveling the mark held by Butragueño and Villa.
But what truly killed the match was the goal in the 58th minute—an almost textbook-level team-football strike. Spain’s front line kept making consecutive passes; Porro played a diagonal ball; Olmo set himself up as a wall with his back to goal; Porro quickly surged forward, pushed the ball in and scored. From circulation to laying it off, from the forward run to the finish—smooth, seamless, one continuous execution.
Across the whole match, Spain completely strangled France’s attacking lifeline with extreme possession control and midfield “choking out.” Rodri limited Olíse, cutting off France’s attacking hub; on the right, Yamal went all-out against Digne, turning France’s left side into swiss cheese. France’s midfield core, Olíse, lost possession 20 times in the match—the most of anyone. Against Rodri’s calm control of the tempo, he was utterly lost.
Where is Spain’s offense so strong? It’s because they made it so France couldn’t even get the ball in the first place. Throughout the match, the ball possession was slowly consumed under Spain’s feet, and the French looked like they were chasing shadows, exhausted by constant running.
2-0. After the 2010 South Africa World Cup, Spain reached the World Cup final for only the second time in their history. This is also Spain’s third consecutive year and third consecutive match in international competitions where they knocked out France in the semifinal—Euro 2024, Nations League 2025, and the 2026 World Cup. France’s previous record of four straight wins in World Cup semifinals came to an end here.
Even more painfully—this day happened to be France’s National Day. The Spanish sent the most bitter gift to France on the nation’s holiday.
In the 86th minute of the match, with France trailing 0-2, team captain Mbappé deliberately collided with and elbowed Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón during a challenge. A yellow card. Throughout the match, he was like he was sleepwalking—zero shots on target, and his presence was so low it was hard to believe.
When the whistle blew, Mbappé lifted his jersey to cover his mouth, unwilling to accept it. This was the first time since his three World Cup appearances that he had been denied the final. Head coach Deschamps stepped forward to embrace and comfort him, but everyone could read the loneliness in that moment. In the post-match interview, Mbappé’s words were full of bitterness: “We didn’t play the match we wanted. Whether in the tactical aspects, the technical aspects, or our overall level of performance, we didn’t meet the requirements. If you don’t do what you’re supposed to do in a World Cup semifinal like this, you can’t win.”
He broke down France’s comprehensive collapse: “We had too many technical mistakes. We allowed the opponent to control the tempo. Fabian Ruiz and Rodri always had enough time to organize the attack, and we also lacked communication during our pressing. We should have created more one-on-one duels and made the opponent run. And when we regained possession, our passing also didn’t meet the requirements of a World Cup semifinal.” “Like everyone, we’re very disappointed. Reaching the final is something we’ve been dreaming of… the disappointment is hard to put into words.”
