📊 OPTA supercomputer predicts the Women's EURO, who will come out on top?
The next 2nd of July, one of the most evenly matched Women's European Championships in recent years kicks off in Switzerland. Spain starts as the favorite to win the title, although teams like England, Germany, and France promise to put up a good fight. The Spanish team arrives backed by its recent successes: world champion in 2023 and League of Nations champion in 2024. According to Opta's supercomputer, it has a 24.8% chance of lifting the trophy. Despite the absence of Jenni Hermoso, the team led by Montse Tomé relies on a consolidated block with Aitana Bonmatí at the forefront — winner of the Ballon d'Or in 2023 and 2024 — and a solid base of ten players from FC Barcelona. Advertisement However, history plays against them. Spain has never reached a continental final and in the last three editions fell in the quarterfinals. On this occasion, their first mission will be to overcome Group B, where they will face Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, three teams in full growth. England, the current champion after conquering Wembley in 2022, wants to repeat the feat. The Lionesses maintain 16.1% options, despite the losses of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby. Beth Mead and Alessia Russo lead a squad that will have to overcome a demanding Group D alongside France, the Netherlands, and Wales. Germany (14.8%) and France (15.3%) complete the group of favorites. The Germans, with eight titles in their record, continue to be a power despite losing the last final. The French, on the other hand, seek to break their historical ceiling with a new generation in which Diani and Katoto stand out. Sweden, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are among the teams willing to surprise. The outcome will arrive on July 27, when Basel crowns the new European champion.

Atletico Madrid reach deal for €50m star signing
Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have reportedly reached an agreement for midfielder Alex Baena, after several weeks of negotiations. Although none have been made official yet, Baena is set to become their third major addition this summer after Matteo Ruggeri and Johnny Cardoso. Cardoso will set Atletico back in excess of €30m, while Ruggeri's deal could rise to €20m. Including Baena's deal, Atletico's spend could push over €100m for the second summer in a row. The deal was first reported by David Medina, but Fabrizio Romano has give further details, stating that the deal will be worth €45m plus €5m in variables. Los Colchoneros' guaranteed spend is a minimum of €93m in fixed fees. Atletico Madrid moving quickly for priorities On Wednesday night, Villarreal all but confirmed that Baena would be heading to Atletico Madrid, and backed Diego Simeone to get the best out of him. The clubs still have to resolve some details, such as a payment schedule, but the move has now been agreed upon by both clubs and the player. Los Rojiblancos agreed a contract with Baena several weeks ago, with the 23-year-old giving the green light to a move. It is thought that Baena was keen to make the switch to the Metropolitano, and despite having a €55m release clause, Villarreal were willing to work with Baena after he turned down a move to Saudi Arabia in January. Image via X / Sport One of La Liga's best creators Baena comes with a proven track record of providing goals for his teammates, and he should significantly improve the service for the likes of Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez. The former had his best season in Spain with Baena two years ago, and over the last two seasons, Baena has 28 assists and 12 goals. He usually operates off the left side of midfield, a position that has had no clear owner this season, with Conor Gallagher and Samuel Lino sharing game time there.

Croatia Star ‘Revving Up The Engine' After False Starts At Inter Milan
Croatia Star 'Revving Up The Engine' After False Starts At Inter Milan Midfielder Petar Sucic has been 'revving up the engine' after a couple of early false starts with Inter Milan at the Club World Cup. This is the view in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement The expectations have been high for Petar Sucic at Inter Milan. The 21-year-old midfielder only just joined the Nerazzurri from Dinamo Zagreb. And he has yet to really play at the level that he will at Inter. However, Sucic has impressed heavily in the last couple seasons for Dinamo. Moreover, the Croat has also looked up to the task in midfield for the national team. Petar Sucic 'Revving Up The Engine' For Inter Milan SALZBURG, AUSTRIA – OCTOBER 23: Petar Sucic of GNK Dinamo passes the ball whilst under pressure from Samson Baidoo of FC Salzburg during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD3 match between FC Salzburg and GNK Dinamo at Stadion Salzburg on October 23, 2024 in Salzburg, Austria. (Photo by) In his first appearance for Inter, Petar Sucic came off the bench in the team's Club World Cup group stage opener against Monterrey. In truth, that performance showcased little of the Croatian international's best qualities. Advertisement Sucic looked hesitant, offering little in possession and not providing much of a defensive presence. Then, there were improvements in the 21-year-old's second substitute appearance of the tournament, against Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds. Then, Sucic's display against River Plate was his best yet. The Croat assisted Francesco Pio Esposito for the decisive second half goal. This capped off a display that saw Sucic really start to take risks with the ball.
