Portugal vs Spain preview

This game will likely be built up as Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lamine Yamal.

So who are we to change the narrative!?

The 40-year-old and 17-year-old meet on the park in a big final for their countries at the end and beginning of their careers.

And they’re both arriving as the key men for their countries having both scored in the midweek semi finals!

Portugal battled back from a goal down to score twice in five minutes midway through the second half to beat Germany in Munich.

The Portuguese had double the attempts on goal of the hosts, including in a completely one-sided second half.

But one of the best international games in years followed 24 hours later when Spain beat France 5-4 in a Stuttgart stunner.

The Spaniards were 4-0 up after 55 minutes before Kylian Mbappe’s penalty and Yamal scored six minutes later to restore a four-goal lead.

France scored three more in the final 11 minutes to almost complete the sensational comeback but just came up short.

Spain are still unbeaten in competitive games since March 2023, when beaten comprehensively by Scotland.

Boy wonder

It would be rather silly to ignore the teenage sensation, wouldn’t it?

Lamine Yamal’s brace in midweek was further proof of his incredible rise this season, starring on yet another big stage.

The Barca boy has five goals in his last five games for club and country and this Spanish side are littered with incredible talent. Good boosted value.

DOCTOR Who’s most popular pair could be coming back for a final turn in the Tardis.

Insiders say Billie Piper’s shock return to the show was understood to be teeing up a comeback for David Tennant as the Time Lord for a one-off special.

A source said: “The BBC brought Doctor Who back in 2005 and there is talk about a possible one-off project to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

“David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in the golden age of Doctor Who.

“With the anniversary of the reboot this year there have been some ideas floated about with the idea of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah.

“When David’s Doctor bi-generated in the 60th anniversary special, his ‘half’ of the Doctor went on to live a normal life in an alternative universe.

“While Ncuti Gatwa, who carried on the mantle, carried on as the Time Lord. It wouldn’t be beyond the realms of imagination for him to return with Rose for a one-off special to celebrate not only their partnership but the anniversary of BBC bringing back Doctor Who.”

David, 54, played the tenth version of the Time Lord for five years until 2010.

In a twist, he then returned as the 14th Doctor for three specials before handing the role over to Ncuti.

The Sun revealed last month that Gatwa, 31, was leaving the Tardis.

It was confirmed last Saturday when he surprisingly regenerated into Billie, 42, at the end of the series finale.

After the episode, Ncuti said: “I’ve loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have.

“I’ll truly miss it, and be grateful to it, Doctor Who’s future is still undecided, with the BBC waiting to see if Disney+ — who pumped millions of pounds into the show — will renew their deal.

Ratings for the sci-fi staple have plummeted since Tennant left, with overnight peak viewing figures dropping as low as 1.6million.

Many fans of the show complained that it had gone “woke”.

Meanwhile, Whovians are waiting to see if Piper is really the 16th Doctor or is sidekick Rose again.

Кава, кола або енергетичний напій: кофеїн – найбільш широко споживана психоактивна речовина в світі. Дослідники з Базельського університету показали в своєму дослідженні, що регулярне споживання кофеїну може змінити сіру речовину мозку. Однак ефект виявився тимчасовим.

А почухони від «татуся» чотирилапий однозначно вважає справою важливішою, ніж якесь там читання книжки. Як Пузан дає це зрозуміти, 44-річний Кулеба показав у […]
