France manager Didier Deschamps has conceded that his side lacked the technical quality to compete with Spain, after Les Bleus were beaten 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup semifinal.

Deschamps acknowledged that Spain were the superior team on the night, with France unable to match their opponents in technical execution across the pitch.

The defeat ends France's World Cup campaign at the semifinal stage, as Spain advance to the final on the back of a commanding performance.
