Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal, the two favourites for the Ballon d'Or, go head to head in Thursday's Nations League semi-final.

Dembele's and Yamal's Spain meet in Stuttgart (20:00 BST) for a place in Sunday's final against Portugal - after the conclusion of remarkable domestic seasons for both.

As well as impressing for their clubs, both netted in their country's respective Nations League quarter-final victories.

Yamal played down any suggestion this match would have an impact in the Ballon d'Or decision - with the winner announced on 22 September in Paris.
