The lowdown on UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Day 3️⃣
The 2025 Women's EURO action is ramping up following goals and drama on day two. Here are our day two headlines and the day three stories to have an eye on ... Before we get into today's action, what happened yesterday? ⏪ Italy briefly went to the top of Group B after securing a deserved 1-0 victory over Belgium. The Azzure were the better side throughout and a stunning, curling finish from Arianna Caruso just before half time proved to be a worthy matchwinner. Advertisement It was a more one-sided affair in the later Group B kick-off as Spain made a big statement as pre-tournament favourites by thrashing Portugal 5-0. The world champions ended a run of eight games without a clean sheet with their triumph and notched their biggest EUROs win to date. Who is playing today? 👀 Group C begins with Denmark vs Sweden and some star players are set to feature, including Pernille Harder and Stina Blackstenius. Sweden are one of the biggest European teams historically and head to Switzerland in terrific form, having not lost a game since July 2024. Germany take on EURO debutants Poland in the second Group C encounter. Christian Wück's side are among the favourites at EURO 2025 after reaching the final in 2022, eventually losing 2-1 against England after extra-time. Poland will make their maiden appearance at the tournament and all eyes will be on Barcelona sharpshooter Ewa Pajor. Advertisement Player to watch 🔍 📸 RONNY HARTMANN - AFP or licensors It's finally time for a wider audience to see and appreciate the talent of Germany forward Selina Cerci. Bundesliga top scorer, goal every 97 minutes despite playing for a Hoffenheim side who only managed to finish sixth. Five goals in seven appearances for Germany since this time last year. Cerci emerged as a potential future superstar as a teenager and was prolific at 21 but injuries set her back - she made just nine league starts in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons - so, now aged 25, this is finally her first international tournament. Advertisement She may not start but she will be looking to make an impact no matter what role she plays. Key storyline 🔑 📸 Charles McQuillan - 2025 Getty Images There will be plenty of intrigue around Poland's major tournament debut. The Eagles had a qualification campaign of two halves, losing all six games in the qualifying group stages before winning four play-off matches. That improved form in the play-offs kick-started a huge upturn in form as Poland are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches, winning 10. However, taking on European giants Germany will be a major test for Nina Patalon's outfit in Group C. Advertisement Key to the Eagles' hopes at the Women's EUROs will be Ewa Pajor. The Barcelona striker scored an incredible 25 LaLiga goals in just 22 starts last season and has four goals in her last four internationals. Must-watch video 🎥 Fun facts 📊 Spain vs Portugal's attendance of 29,520 was a record for a Women's EURO group stage game not involving the host nation. Since making their EURO debut in 1989, Germany have qualified for 12 successive finals and won a record eight titles. Our predictions 🔮 Denmark 0-1 Sweden Germany 3-1 Poland 📸 Linnea Rheborg - 2024 Getty Images

Report Mendes creates conditions for possible Dumfries transfer to Barcelona
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Denzel Dumfries has changed agents, and his new representative, Jorge Mendes, has created the conditions for a possible move to Barcelona. Inter defender Dumfries could join Barcelona this summer as he has a release clause in the region of €25m. Advertisement Dumfries' clause attracts Barcelona interest SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 25: Denzel Dumfries #2 of FC Internazionale Milano scuffles with Marcos Acuña #21 of CA River Plate during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between FC Internazionale Milano and CA River Plate at Lumen Field on June 25, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) According to Sportitalia, the defender's clause will increase from €20m to €30m in the first two weeks of July, which means it is currently active for clubs interested in the defender. Barcelona seem to be among the possible suitors as Gazzetta claims that Dumfries' new agent, Jorge Mendes, has created the conditions for a potential move to Catalunya this summer. Jorge Mendes in talks with Barcelona over Dumfries deal BARCELONA, SPAIN – APRIL 30: Denzel Dumfries of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's third goal with teammates during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between FC Barcelona and FC Internazionale Milano at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on April 30, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. (Photo by) Mendes has recently held talks with the Catalans who want to get a reinforcement for the right-back position this summer. However, the defending La Liga champions are aware that they must move quickly if they want to sign Dumfries as the defender's release clause expires on July 15. Inter have already signed a new right winger, Luis Henrique, in a €25m deal from Marseille this summer, and according to Gazzetta, the Nerazzurri will look to Bologna's Dan Ndoye if Dumfries leaves.
