Alan Shearer pulled no punches as he slammed a France star following their crushing elimination from Euro 2024.

France were knocked out of the tournament by Spain, who ran out 2-1 winners in Munich on Tuesday.

Didier Deschamps' side opened the scoring through Randal Kolo Muani, who headed home Kylian Mbappe's cross.

But Spain hit back with two goals in the space of four minutes as Lamine Yamal produced a moment of magic.

The 16-year-old curled home a stunning strike to level proceedings before Dani Olmo fired his side into the lead.

After the final whistle, Yamal sent a clear message to Adrien Rabiot following his pre-match comments.

There's no third-place play-off so it's the end of the road for Les Bleus' campaign in Germany.

On BBC, Shearer made his feelings clear on Ousmane Dembele as he took aim at his showing against Spain.

He was left 'frustrated' and 'angry' and bemoaned his 'wasteful' outing.

"Dembele was probably more guilty than anyone in terms of being wasteful when he got into good positions," he said.

"It’s so frustrating when you get there and you’re delivering balls [into the box] which aren’t good time after time.

"When you’re in that position, you have to be expected to do better than what he’s done - he had plenty of guys in there and he kept hitting crosses straight at the keeper."

Shearer added: "I was getting frustrated and angry up here myself so you can imagine how they were feeling out there on the pitch.

"There was just a complete lack of energy and quality from him tonight."

Spain booked their spot in the final of Euro 2024 at the expense of France.

They await the winner of tonight's clash between England and the Netherlands.
