Sergio Busquets believes Spain are growing stronger by the game at Euro 2020 after La Roja defeated Croatia 5-3 in a European Championship classic to reach the quarter-finals.
Luis Enrique s side won their first knockout game at a major tournament since winning Euro 2012 nine years ago, triumphing in a thrilling contest at Parken Stadium on Monday.
Pablo Sarabia, Cesar Azpilicueta and Ferran Torres were all on target to give Spain a commanding 3-1 lead after Pedri s bizarre own goal from 49 yards had put Croatia ahead.
But substitute Mislav Orsic scored one and set up another for Mario Pasalic in the space of seven minutes late on in Copenhagen to set up extra time.
It is the just the second time Spain have conceded three goals in their Euros history, but…
Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has caught onto the feel-good vibe of Euro 2012 with his High Flying Birds concert in Gdansk.
With the quarter-finals getting underway from Thursday, Gallagher s concert comes at the perfect time to take fans minds off of the eagerly anticipated clashes.
Support acts included The Vaccines and Ziemianie at Plac Zebran Ludowych on Wednesday night as over 30,000 fans attended.

Jill Scott has become the second member of England s Euro 2022-winning squad to announce her retirement in as many days, with the nation s second-most-capped player hanging up her boots at the age of 35.
The midfielder, the only member of the victorious Lionesses squad who remained from their previous final defeat in 2009, brings the curtain down on an 18-year career just weeks on from beating Germany at Wembley.

Two things have always been true about me, the former Manchester City stalwart wrote. I ve always been stubborn, and I ve always loved football. It s been in my blood ever since…
If the coming LaLiga campaign can match the previous few months for drama, an epic is in store.
The 2021-22 season gets under way this weekend with Spanish football still reeling from Lionel Messi s remarkable Barcelona departure.

If “Bull Durham” taught us anything – and it has (so, so much) – it’s that all you need is a rainout, which involves a little B&E and public intoxication. And perhaps some light cross-dressing.
Self-help gurus promote performance over results — tough to do when grading NFL betting picks — while sticking to your process instead of trying something drastic and desperate. So, no blind darts being thrown or using pets to pick games.
And sports psychologists working with athletes in the midst of a slump preach positive “self talk”, which is a change in course from the negative flamethrower I’ve been aiming at the TV every time one of my bets goes sideways.
