France star Kylian Mbappé started his first game at the European Championship without a face mask since breaking his nose in his team's opening win against Austria.
While Mbappé was among the starters for Didier Deschamps in the team's Euro semifinal against Spain on Tuesday, Antoine Griezmann was left on the bench and Randall Kolo Muani started in the front line.
Adrien Rabiot returned from suspension, with Eduardo Camavinga dropping back to the bench in the only other change from the quarterfinal against Portugal, that France won on penalties after the match ended 0-0.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente was forced to change his usual formation for the semifinal with a number of players suspended or injured.
