"(I am) very happy with the team's attitude from start to finish. I think we played a great match, we did everything we had to do today to reach the final," said Porro.

"It's a dream come true... We knew (France) were a very, very tough team, one that had been doing things really well, and honestly, this is the team's achievement, not mine at all," he added.

The 26-year-old said Spain had played a "fantastic match" to beat the two-time world champions.

They move on to Sunday's final against the winners of Wednesday's semi-final between England and Argentina.
