The 3️⃣ standout players in Spain's final test before the EUROs
The 3️⃣ standout players in Spain's final test before the EUROs
Spain defeated Japan in the last friendly match ahead of the Women's Euro and we bring you the three stars of the night.
Claudia Pina brought justice
The first half was all red, but the Japanese goal was a cold shower. However, La Roja never stopped looking for it.
And in one of the many plays, it was Claudia Pina who achieved the effectiveness they were lacking. More than timely.
Tanaka opened the scoring with a great goal
Without a doubt, Japan surprised everyone at Butarque. La Roja started better, but the Japanese were the ones who opened the scoring.
And nothing more and nothing less with a great goal from Tanaka, who stopped it in the area, turned around and completed the sacred shout. Differential.
Vicky Lopez signed the final comeback
As the minutes ran and the victory seemed to become more difficult, a mistake by Japan served the comeback to Vicky Lopez.
Great news for her ahead of the Women's Euro. For forwards, there's no better fuel than a goal. We'll see if Tomé continues to give her more opportunities.

Report Napoli closing on Juanlu Sanchez deal with Sevilla
Napoli are very close to an agreement with Sevilla for right-back Juanlu Sanchez, according to reports in Spain, with a fee worth under €20m. There had already been negotiations for the Spain Under-21 international, who was participating in the European Championship this summer. Juanlu Sanchez pushing for Napoli LA LINEA DE LA CONCEPCION, SPAIN – OCTOBER 10: Juanlu Sanchez of Spain in action during the UEFA European U21 Championship Qualifying match between Spain and Kazakhstan at Estadio Municipal de La Linea on October 10, 2024 in La Linea de la Concepcion, Spain. (Photo by) The Partenopei had not been prepared to reach the asking price of €18m plus bonuses, confident in the knowledge that the player was eager to make the move. Advertisement According to Onda Capital in Spain and in Italy, the clubs are now closer to shaking hands for €18-20m including performance-related bonuses. That would bring down the fixed fee and allow Napoli to break it up with some add-ons. A breakthrough could mean medical tests as early as next week. Sanchez turns 22 in August and is a product of the Sevilla youth academy, who this season scored five goals with five assists in 35 competitive games for the club. He has 12 caps for Spain at Under-21 level and can also play in a more advanced role down the right wing, giving him the kind of versatility appreciated by coach Antonio Conte.

Carlos Alcaraz Makes Tennis History Before Wimbledon
Carlos Alcaraz Makes Tennis History Before Wimbledon originally appeared on Athlon Sports. ATP World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, from El Palmar, Spain, has dominated this tennis season, winning five tournaments, including the French Open. Advertisement His 2025 French Open title marked his second straight victory at Roland Garros. Now, he sets his sights on Wimbledon, aiming to defend last year's championship and claim back-to-back titles there as well. The Spaniard holds five Grand Slam titles at just 22 years old and is seemingly just getting started. Alcaraz has made history away from the playing surface, too. On Friday, his tennis card featuring a match-used racket knob sold for a record-breaking amount, making it the most expensive men's tennis card in history. Carlos Alcaraz of Spain poses with the French Open trophy after winning the final against Jannik Mullane-Imagn Images Topps, an American company that manufactures trading cards, broke the news. Advertisement "JUST SOLD: Carlos Alcaraz has set the record for most expensive men's tennis card in HISTORY," said Topps. "His 1/1 Topps Royalty tennis card featuring his match-used racket knob has sold for $222,000 on @fanaticscollect last night…" Despite the jaw-dropping figure, it still fails to top Serena Williams' 2003 NetPro signed patch rookie card, which sold for $266,400 in 2024. Alcaraz is known for his ability to succeed and adapt across all three playing surfaces. In 2024, Alcaraz became just the seventh men's player in history to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces (clay, grass and hard courts). In fact, he is the only men's player to win his first three Grand Slam titles on three different playing surfaces — 2022 U.S. Open, 2023 Wimbledon and 2024 French Open.
