Title:
Defending champions did it the hard way
Content: England got off to a rough start with a 2-1 defeat to France, becoming the first reigning champion to lose its opening match at a women's Euros. The team bounced back with a 4-0 victory over the Netherlands and a 6-1 thrashing of Wales.
Then came the craziness of its quarterfinal against Sweden when it was trailing 2-0 with 12 minutes to go before equalizing and taking the match to extra time and a penalty shootout. There were nine failed penalty attempts before England finally triumphed 3-2.
England left it even later in its semifinal against Italy. Teenager Michelle Agyemang leveled in stoppage time to force extra time and fellow substitute Chloe Kelly scored in the 119th minute to secure a 2-1 win, just as it appeared another penalty shootout was looming.

Title:
Spain bidding for first Euros title, England out for revenge
Content: World Cup winner Spain has never lifted the European Championship trophy and had never even made it to the final before this year. In contrast, England is in its second straight Euros final after lifting the trophy on home soil in 2022.
But England will still be smarting after losing 1-0 to Spain in the World Cup final two years ago. That saw Spain establish itself as one of the powerhouses of women's soccer and it is looking to add the European Championship trophy to its collection after also winning the Nations League last year.
It is a fifth straight major final for England coach Sarina Wiegman, who is bidding for a hat-trick of European Championship titles after leading her native Netherlands to the trophy in 2017. She also lost the 2019 World Cup final with the Netherlands.

Liverpool on brink of stunning Alexander Isak BARGAIN
Liverpool are reportedly moving forward on a move for Alexander Isak. And it would be a bargain. The whole world knows Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak. What we don't all know is exactly how likely that is. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Isak certainly wants to move and that's one part of it. Newcastle United, though, understandably don't want to sell. But it sounds like Liverpool are making some sort of progress. Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany claims there's an actual agreement with Isak on terms. "Understand: Alexander Isak has already reached a verbal agreement in principle with Liverpool over a contract running until 2031," he wrote on Twitter. But there's a more interesting part of his tweet. One we didn't see coming and that suggests the Reds may be banking a bargain here. Alexander Isak agrees terms Plettenberg claims Isak will earn a similar wage to Hugo Ekitike on moving to Anfield. That's a surprise, given Isak's reputation far exceeds that of the Frenchman. Now, Sky Germany have previously reported that Ekitike will earn around £245k per week at Liverpool. If Isak truly is earning similar, that's drastically down on the £300k per week he's reportedly asking from Newcastle right now (Talksport). The ultimate transfer fee will not be a cheap one, of course. Liverpool would likely break the British record in order to sign Isak.

Barcelona reach agreement with 24-year-old defender on five-year deal
Barcelona will continue their spate of contract renewals with Eric Garcia, the latest to reach an agreement with the club. The former Manchester City man is poised to sign a new long-term contract after earning a spot in Hansi Flick's plans. Garcia was one of the most talented prospects at La Masia when he left as a teenager for City, where he made his debut, and became a rotational option for Pep Guardiola. At the age of 20, Garcia was out of contract and agreed a deal to return to the Catalan giants, and returning in 2021. New deal agreed with Eric Garcia According to Sport, Barcelona and Garcia have already reached an agreement on a new five-year contract that will tie him to the club until 2030. His current deal expires next season, and in January it looked as if he might be leaving the club for a second time, but whether he was playing in midfield, at centre-back or latterly at right-back, Garcia earned Flick's trust, and become one of the primary alternatives to the starting XI. Image via Sport. They say the German manager had expressly requested that Garcia be kept at the club, as he appreciates the 24-year-old's versatility and tactical intelligence. New role for Eric Garcia? Garcia is set to follow on from Jules Kounde's renewal, announced by the Frenchman on Wednesday, with Frenkie de Jong due to extend his contract too. The news breaks just days after it was made public that young right-back Hector Fort is up for sale, even if the teenager is reluctant to move on. This perhaps is no coincidence. With Kounde injured for the Champions League semi-finals, and El Clasico, Garcia did a fine job as his replacement at right-back, and perhaps has convinced Barcelona that he can be the main alternative to Kounde. In the spring, right-back was being cited as one of Barcelona's priorities in the summer transfer market.
