Pep Guardiola to Jurgen Klopp: Find out who is in contention to replace Gareth Southgate for England

From many former Chelsea managers like Mauricio Pochettino, Graham Potter to successful Premier League managers Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, many names have been touted to potentially succeed Gareth Southgate after he stepped down as England manager.

From many former Chelsea managers like Mauricio Pochettino, Graham Potter to successful Premier League managers Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, many names have been touted to potentially succeed Gareth Southgate after he stepped down as England manager.

A who's who of current and former English Premier League managers - as well as a current England youth team coach - have been touted as possible replacements for Gareth Southgate, who stepped down from his role as the 'Three Lions'' manager on Tuesday.
After almost eight years in the job, and a tenure that lasted for 102 games, Southgate resigned as England boss following Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
Former Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter is the current bookies favourite to take over from Southgate, while England under-21 head coach Lee Carsley is another name being tipped for the job.
Eddie Howe, Mauricio Pochettino, Jurgen Klopp, Thomes Tuchel, Frank Lampard and Pep Guardiola are also amongst those who have been linked to the England hot seat.

Explore the inspiring journey of Lamine Yamal from the multicultural neighborhood of Rocafonda in Mataro to becoming a rising star in Spanish football. 

Explore the inspiring journey of Lamine Yamal from the multicultural neighborhood of Rocafonda in Mataro to becoming a rising star in Spanish football. Discover his roots, his unique goal celebration, and the community that shaped his early years.

Lamine Yamal grew up in the neighbourhood of Rocafonda in Mataro, a city located 35 kilometres north of Barcelona, where spent his childhood playing with his friends in the cement field next to the Rocafonda football field.
The neighbourhood is multicultural and many football fans fill the streets, you can see children and adults with t-shirts from different teams and flags hung over the balconies.
Yamal holds up three fingers and makes an circle with his index finger and thumb, while extending four fingers on the other hand. Arms crossed over this chest, he flashes a smile to put the finishing touch on his particular goal celebration.
While undecipherable to millions of spectators, the peculiar hand sign Yamal made after scoring his first goals for club and country represented the last three digits of the postal code of Rocafonda: 304.
Children in the neighbourhood wished him a happy birthday as he turns seventeen on the13th July, a day before the European Championship final.
Near the football field is a bar called 'El Cordobes' where Lamine's father visits frequently.
"Proud, delighted, happy. Thank God for having what I have, and just that. Happiness." said Lamine Yamal Nasraoui as he sat in front of his son's debut FC Barcelona shirt which was a gift to the bar owner from Lamine Yamal.
20km from Rocafona is a town called La Torreta, the neighbourhood where his mother lived with Lamine when she separated from his father.
There Lamine played for C.F. La Torreta from the age of four to seven - the team coordinator Inocente Diez remembers his time at the club.

Ahead of big showdown in Berlin, England and Spain continue preparations for Euro 2024 Final

Spain and England meet in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday. Spain seek a record fourth title, while England aim for its first major men's trophy since the 1966 World Cup. Key players like Lamine Yamal, Harry Kane, and Jude Bellingham will play a crucial part.

Spain and England meet in the final of the European Championship on Sunday. Spain is seeking a record fourth title at the Euros to break a tie with Germany, while England is bidding for a first major trophy in men's soccer since the 1966 World Cup.
Here's what to know about the match: Match facts&mdash; Spain will start as the favorite after winning all six of its matches at Euro 2024 and being widely regarded as the best team at the tournament. Winning the title would continue a strong period of success for Spanish national teams, with the men having captured the UEFA Nations League in June last year and the women following that up by winning the World Cup two months later.
&mdash; Lamine Yamal is Spain's new star having set up three goals before the semifinals, where he scored a spectacular long-range strike in the victory over France &mdash; all at the age of 16. He turned 17 on Saturday, the day before the final. It is a breakthrough major tournament for Yamal, much like it was for a 19-year-old Kylian Mbapp&eacute; at the 2018 World Cup and a 17-year-old Pel&eacute; at the 1958 World Cup.
&mdash; Spain last appeared in a final at a major tournament in 2012, when the team won the third of its European Championship titles by beating Italy 4-0. England played in the final of Euro 2020, which was played in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic, and lost in a penalty shootout to Italy.
&mdash; England has shown resilience by coming from behind in all three of its knockout-stage matches at Euro 2024. Jude Bellingham scored an equalizer from an overhead kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time in the extra-time win over Slovakia in the last 16, Bukayo Saka equalized in the 80th minute against Switzerland in the quarterfinals before England won a penalty shootout, and substitute Ollie Watkins scored a winner almost exactly on 90 minutes against the Netherlands in the semifinals.
&mdash; England coach Gareth Southgate is often criticized for his in-game management but he has changed the culture inside the squad and is regularly getting the team deep at major tournaments. In Southgate's tenure that started in 2016, England has reached the World Cup semifinals in 2018 and now back-to-back European Championship finals.
Team news&mdash; Spain captain Alvaro Morata has been in training this week after limping out of the semifinal win over France after being knocked to the ground in the post-match celebrations by a steward trying to stop a pitch invader. Right back Dani Carvajal returns from suspension, leaving the only real selection dilemma at center back for coach Luis de la Fuente, with Nacho or Robin Le Normand vying to partner Aymeric Laporte. Dani Olmo should again fill in for the injured Pedri as Spain's attacking central midfielder.
&mdash; Southgate has to decide who to play at left back &mdash; or left wing back &mdash; out of Kieran Trippier or Luke Shaw. Shaw is a natural on that side but has only made two appearances as a second-half substitute at Euro 2024 after recovering from an injury that had sidelined him since February. Otherwise, Southgate will choose the same players, with the 19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo having nailed down the problematic spot in central midfield alongside Declan Rice.
By the numbers&mdash; Spain's previous European Championship titles came in 1964, 2008 and 2012.
&mdash; There are six players on a tournament-high three goals at Euro 2024 and two are playing in the final: England captain Harry Kane and Spain playmaker Dani Olmo. The others are Georges Mikautadze of Georgia, Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands, Ivan Schranz of Slovakia and Jamal Musiala or Germany.
&mdash; It has been six years since Spain and England met in a senior men's international. In 2018, they played a Nations League double-header, with Spain winning 2-1 at Wembley Stadium and England winning 3-2 in Sevilla a month later.
What they're saying&mdash; &ldquo;I don't say it becomes run of the mill but it's a little bit more normal for us. That statement in itself is probably ridiculous given our history.&rdquo; &mdash; England coach Gareth Southgate on reaching a second straight final at the Euros.
&mdash; &ldquo;I would like him to work with the same humility, keep his feet on the ground in order to keep improving, learning with the same kind of attitude and that professionalism, that maturity that he shows on the pitch. He looks like a much more experienced player, to be honest.&rdquo; &mdash; Spain coach Luis de la Fuente on Lamine Yamal.

Spain and England clash in the Euro 2024 final at Berlin's Olympiastadion. Spain, led by teenage star Lamine Yamal and a strong midfield, face a resilient England under Gareth Southgate. Who will emerge victorious in this epic showdown?

Spain vs England: Clash of Titans in Euro 2024 Final with Yamal and Southgate in Spotlight

Spain and England clash in the Euro 2024 final at Berlin's Olympiastadion. Spain, led by teenage star Lamine Yamal and a strong midfield, face a resilient England under Gareth Southgate. Who will emerge victorious in this epic showdown?

One is the best team in the tournament, on the brink potentially of a new era of success because of a teenage wonderkid, an outstanding midfield and a tweak in philosophy.
The other is a survivor, limping to the end with big moments, resilience and an oft-criticized coach who has another chance to end his country's long wait for a major men's title.
The European Championship final between Spain and England on Sunday is dripping with narrative &mdash; with one arguably standing out above the rest.
Inside Olympiastadion, the historic venue in Berlin built by the Nazis for the 1936 Olympic Games, Lamine Yamal &mdash; a day after his 17th birthday &mdash; will look to crown his breakthrough as soccer's newest superstar by leading Spain to a first major men's trophy since the 2008-12 era, when it won back-to-back Euros either side of the World Cup in 2010.
Yamal has been the shining light in a tournament where many of the high-profile figures &mdash; Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbapp&eacute;, even England's Harry Kane &mdash; have underwhelmed. If his three assists before the semifinals hinted at his undoubted promise, Yamal's spectacular curling shot that propelled Spain to a 2-1 win over France in the last four signaled a new star had arrived.
While Yamal and fellow winger Nico Williams now offer their national team a hitherto-lacking directness out wide, it's the central midfield that has given Spain the edge over all of its rivals.
Rodri, perhaps pound-for-pound the world's most effective player, and Fabian Ruiz are the axis from which Spain thrives. Dani Olmo has joined them as the most attacking of pretty much a complete central-midfield three that England will struggle to contain.
Spain topped a group containing defending champion Italy and 2022 World Cup semifinalist Croatia, before eliminating host nation Germany and Mbapp&eacute;'s France, for many the pre-tournament favorite.
It's six straight wins for La Roja. No wonder they are being so heavily backed ahead of the final.
&ldquo;They have been the best team,&rdquo; England coach Gareth Southgate said of Spain. "... but we are there and from what we have shown to this point, we have as good a chance as they do.&rdquo; Indeed, Spain should not underestimate England, whose tenacity and character have stood out way above its quality of play at Euro 2024. The nation's most talented squad for 20 years has underperformed, looking unbalanced, short of ideas and in some cases fatigued, but has somehow scrapped through to a second straight European Championship final.
Three years ago, England lost to Italy in a penalty shootout on home soil at Wembley Stadium, extending the birthplace of soccer's painful wait for a major men's title since its one and only at the 1966 World Cup.
Southgate's team is back in the title match &mdash; its first ever outside England &mdash; and is an increasingly confident underdog, with potential matchwinners dotted throughout the team in Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Kane. Someone has always popped up with a crucial goal &mdash; Bellingham with the stoppage-time equalizer against Slovakia in the last 16, Saka with the 80th-minute equalizer against Switzerland in the quarterfinals, even backup striker Ollie Watkins pretty much exactly on 90 minutes against the Netherlands in the semifinals.
Who will come to Southgate's rescue on Sunday &mdash; if indeed someone does? &ldquo;They are able to inflict a lot of damage, even without playing in a very fluid way,&rdquo; Spain defender Dani Vivian said. &ldquo;But they have that quality that makes them able to produce those sparks.&rdquo; The smart money, though, is on Spain winning a seventh straight game to clinch a record fourth European Championship title.
It would be a just end to a tournament where few teams really clicked apart from the Spanish, who have dovetailed a more ruthless attacking edge with their longstanding possession game that perhaps peaked in the Euro 2012 final when a team of midfielders &mdash; notably Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso and David Silva &mdash; ran over Italy in Spain's 4-0 win.
The class of 2024 might not have those names, but they'd be worthy successors.

England reach back-to-back European Championship finals with a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over the Netherlands. Gareth Southgate's leadership continues to impress as the Three Lions eye their first major title since 1966.

After reaching yet another Euro final, is Gareth Southgate England's Greatest Manager ever?

After reaching yet another Euro final, Gareth Southgate England's Greatest Manager ever?

England reach back-to-back European Championship finals with a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over the Netherlands. Gareth Southgate's leadership continues to impress as the Three Lions eye their first major title since 1966.

For the first time in football history, England have reached back-to-back finals at the European Championships. The Three Lions achieved the feat with yet another comeback, this time over the Netherlands in Dortmund. Since lifting the 1966 World Cup on home soil, their only triumph at international level, England have never come this close to glory until this decade. For over 50 years, despite boasting a plethora of world-beating talents, the England men's football team have always come up short...&nbsp;
But two major final appearances in three years certainly brings forth the question: Is Gareth Southgate the greatest manager England have ever had?
What do the numbers say? He's only the third man to have managed England for over 100 matches and has the best win percentage among those who have been in charge for over 50 matches. Before Southgate's appointment in October 2016, England had won only eight knockout stage matches, excluding the famous 1966 final. But since the former defender took charge, they have won nine and are the only European team to reach the quarterfinals of four consecutive major tournaments.
The style of football and his team selection has been under constant criticism. But no one can dispute the results that he has brought about and the change in fortunes... That brings us to the final question... Is it finally coming home for England? Only time will tell!

Lamine Yamal made history as the youngest player to score at the European Championship, leading Spain to a 2-1 victory over France in the semifinals. Find out what were they other key takeaways from this blockbuster semi-final clash from Euro 2024. 

Euro 2024: 5 records and takeaways as Spain end 12-year wait for major final with 2-1 win vs France

Lamine Yamal made history as the youngest player to score at the European Championship, leading Spain to a 2-1 victory over France in the semifinals. Find out what were they other key takeaways from this blockbuster semi-final clash from Euro 2024.&nbsp;

Lamine Yamal became the youngest player ever to score at the European Championship when the 16-year-old netted a stunning goal for Spain in its European Championship semifinal 2-1 victory over France on Tuesday.
Yamal will turn 17 on Saturday, a day before the final in Berlin against either England or the Netherlands.
&ldquo;I only ask to win, win and win," said Yamal, who was voted player of the match. "I will celebrate my birthday in Germany with my team.&rdquo; Yamal struck in the 21st minute, curling the ball past France goalkeeper Mike Maignan from around 25 yards and into the top left corner.
"I don't know if it is the best goal of the tournament, but it is the most special goal for me because it is my first goal with the team at a European Championship," he said.
Yamal is 16 years and 362 days old. The previous youngest scorer at a European Championship was Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen (18 years, 141 days), against France at Euro 2004.
&ldquo;We are very happy to reach the final. Now comes the most important part &mdash; winning the title," Yamal said. &ldquo;We were in a difficult stretch after not expecting to concede so early. I just took the ball and wanted to put it right there.
&ldquo;I don't try to think about it too much, just enjoy myself and help the team, and if it goes my way, then I am happy (for the goal) and for the win.&rdquo; Yamal came to Euro 2024 with a bunch of &ldquo;youngest&rdquo; records, and has inevitably set more. He became the youngest player to feature at a men's Euro when he started in Spain's opening 3-0 win over Croatia.
The Barcelona teenager was already the youngest player to debut and score in the Spanish league at 15, the youngest player to start in the Champions League and the youngest to score for Spain.
&ldquo;We saw a touch of genius by a great player who we all know and have to nurture forward," Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said. "And I can only advise him to keep going forward with the same humility and work ethic and with his feet firmly on the ground.
"He will keep improving with the same attitude, professionality and maturity that he shows during games, despite being so young, which makes him look older and more experienced than he really is. But above all he should enjoy playing for us. Hopefully we can enjoy him for many years.&rdquo; Yamal's goal Tuesday canceled out Randal Kolo Muani's opener for France &mdash; that was set up by Kylian Mbapp&eacute;, who was playing without a mask.
Spain turned the match around four minutes after Yamal's equalizer when Dani Olmo's goal-bound shot was turned into the net by France defender Jules Kound&eacute;. It was originally adjudged by UEFA to have been an own-goal but was later awarded to Olmo.
&ldquo;They scored first but we planned well for the game and stuck to our plan. Lamine scored a great goal,&rdquo; Olmo said.
Yamal almost nabbed another spectacular goal nine minutes from time with a powerful strike that flew narrowly over the crossbar.
&ldquo;When there was only half an hour to go I was thinking that we were going to the final,&rdquo; Yamal said. &ldquo;I could only think that.&rdquo; &ldquo;And when the referee blew the final whistle I was very happy because I always remember the last European Championship that I saw with my friends in a shopping mall,&rdquo; he said, recalling the last time he had to watch as a spectator. "This is a dream come true to reach the final with the national team.&rdquo;

The Netherlands defeated Turkey 2-1, and England triumphed over Switzerland in a 5-3 penalty shootout to advance to the Euro 2024 semifinals. The two nations will face each other on June 10 in Dortmund.

Euro 2024: England & Netherlands register comeback wins to enter semi-finals

The Netherlands defeated Turkey 2-1, and England triumphed over Switzerland in a 5-3 penalty shootout to advance to the Euro 2024 semifinals. The two nations will face each other on June 10 in Dortmund.

Cody Gakpo scored again to send the Netherlands to the semifinals of the European Championship after a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Turkey on Saturday.
Gakpo scored his fourth goal of the tournament in the 76th minute, six after Stefan De Vrij cancelled Samet Akaydin's first-half header for Turkey in the last of the quarterfinals.
The Netherlands will face England in the second semifinal in Dortmund on Wednesday. Spain faces France in the first on Tuesday.
Turkey was without defender Merih Demiral, who was suspended for two matches by UEFA for making a nationalistic hand gesture after scoring in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Austria. The gesture is used by Turkish nationalists and associated with an ultra-nationalist group.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was at the game after he changed his plans because of the diplomatic row with Germany over Demiral's gesture.&nbsp;
Add another chapter to England's tortuous history with penalty shootouts.
Three years on from losing the European Championship final on penalties, England's players radiated confidence as they beat Switzerland in a shootout to reach the semifinals of Euro 2024.
Trent Alexander-Arnold blasted the ball into the top corner for the winner as England swept all of its penalties to win the shootout 5-3 after a 1-1 draw in extra time on Saturday.
"The team showed a lot of character, a lot of belief, heart and spirit out there,&rdquo; Alexander-Arnold told the BBC. &ldquo;We knew it was going to be tight but whatever it takes, no matter what, we win and that's all that matters.&rdquo; Benched following England's first two Euro 2024 games, Alexander-Arnold &ldquo;could have easily thought his tournament was done," England manager Gareth Southgate said. &ldquo;I kept talking to him. He's going to have moments, there's still a big part to play.&rdquo; Bukayo Saka, whose penalty kick was saved to decide the final shootout in 2021, and who was racially abused on social media in the aftermath, also stepped up to score. The 22-year-old had also equalized earlier to ensure the game went to extra time.
The other shootout scorers were Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham, 22 and 21 respectively, and Ivan Toney, who returned in January from an eight-month ban for breaching betting rules.
England was in the lead in the shootout after goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved from Manuel Akanji, who took Switzerland's first penalty kick.
Southgate's own England career was defined by a semifinal shootout miss against Germany when England hosted the 1996 European Championship.
When he became manager in 2016, England hadn't won a shootout in 20 years. It's won three of four shootouts in Southgate's eight-year tenure as manager, but lost the most important one in the 2021 final.
England goes on to play Turkey or the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday for a spot in the final.
Switzerland, which has never reached the semifinals of a major tournament, exits the European Championship on penalties in the quarterfinals for the second time running after defeat to Spain three years ago. &ldquo;I'm really sad for the players,&rdquo; coach Murat Yakin said.
It was the second game in a row that England left it late to win, after beating Slovakia 2-1 in extra time in the last 16.
The quarterfinal went to extra time after England forward Saka scored with a shot off the post in the 80th minute to cancel out Breel Embolo's goal five minutes earlier for Switzerland. It was the first shot on target for England in what was otherwise a cagey and cautious performance from the 2021 runner-up.
The team's drab tactics have drawn criticism from fans, including some who threw plastic cups in Southgate's direction after a 0-0 group stage draw with Slovenia.
&ldquo;When it's as personal as it's been in the last few weeks, on a human level it's quite difficult,&rdquo; Southgate said on Saturday, going on to defend England's &ldquo;streetwise&rdquo; approach to winning games.
The Swiss had the better chances to win in extra time, including Xherdan Shaqiri hitting the frame of the goal direct from a corner and Zeki Amdouni forcing a save from Pickford in the 119th.
England was without captain and striker Harry Kane for the shootout after he collided with Southgate on the touchline while challenging for a ball and appeared to be hurt. He was replaced by Toney. Kane had cramp, Southgate said.
Taking charge of his 100th game, Southgate has now taken England to at least the semifinals in three of the four major tournaments on his watch.
&ldquo;We've never been to a final outside of England, we've never won a Euros," Southgate said. &ldquo;So there's two bits of history we'd like to create.&rdquo;

France eliminated Portugal in a thrilling 5-3 penalty shootout, ending Cristiano Ronaldo's Euro career. Spain edged out Germany with a 119th-min goal by Mikel Merino. France will play Spain in the semifinals on Tuesday at Munich's Allianz Arena.

Euro 2024 quarterfinals: Spain oust hosts Germany, France send Ronaldo's Portugal packing on penalties

France eliminated Portugal in a thrilling 5-3 penalty shootout, ending Cristiano Ronaldo's Euro career. Spain edged out Germany with a 119th-min goal by Mikel Merino. France will play Spain in the semifinals on Tuesday at Munich's Allianz Arena.

Spain and its fans celebrated as if they'd won the European Championship. After eliminating tournament host Germany in a thrilling quarterfinal, Luis de la Fuente's team has a great chance to lift the trophy in Berlin next week.
Spain snatched a 2-1 win in extra time on Friday thanks to substitute Mikel Merino's header in the 119th minute. Merino celebrated by running around the corner flag, mimicking his father Miguel Merino's celebration after he scored in the same stadium for Osasuna in the UEFA Cup against Stuttgart in 1991.
"I knew that there was very little time left and that it was one of the last attacks we would have," Merino said. &ldquo;I didn't believe that it had gone in until a couple of seconds later. When you get 30 slaps on your back it sinks in real quick.
&ldquo;I am very happy for me and the entire team. It all comes down to one moment (the goal), but there is so much work behind it, all the training, the hope, the faith, and the belief in ourselves.&rdquo; Extra time came only after Florian Wirtz's equalizer in the last minute of regulation.
Dani Olmo, who set up Merino's winner, netted the opener early in the second half. All three goals came from substitutes.
Spain defender Dani Carvajal was sent off late in extra time for a second yellow card and will be suspended from Tuesday's semifinal against France. Fellow defender Robin le Normand will also miss that match after picking up another booking.
France knocked out Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo in a penalty shootout 5-3.
Spain eliminated the host of a major tournament for the first time in 10 attempts.
Germany players were morose and coach Julian Nagelsmann looked on with his hands on hips and his face etched with disappointment.
&ldquo;We were so close, that's what makes it so bitter,&rdquo; Germany midfielder Toni Kroos said after the final match of his excellent career. The 2014 World Cup winner had said he was retiring when Germany's campaign ended.
&ldquo;We all had a big goal that we wanted to achieve together,&rdquo; Kroos added. &ldquo;And this dream we all had has been simply shattered now.&rdquo; Teammates who might also have played their last international included captain Ilkay G&uuml;ndogan, Thomas M&uuml;ller and Manuel Neuer.
Despite the disappointment and the &ldquo;hurt,&rdquo; Nagelsmann managed to crack a joke during his news conference: &ldquo;It's hurting also that we have to wait two years to become world champion." The quarterfinal pitted the Euros' only three-time champions, the teams who have played the best soccer at Euro 2024, and it didn't disappoint.
There was a blistering pace from the start with crunching tackles and end-to-end action.
Kroos was lucky not to be booked for a mistimed challenge that upended Spain midfielder Pedri. Another hefty challenge moments later forced Pedri to leave injured and in tears. He was replaced by Olmo in the eighth minute, the fastest replacement in Euros history.
&ldquo;Pedri is in pain. It deserved a red card," De la Fuente said. He added it was too early to know if the young Barcelona midfielder would recover by Tuesday.
From the resulting free kick, Lamine Yamal almost became the youngest ever goal-scorer at the tournament but the 16-year-old's effort flashed past the right post.
Yamal did have a hand in the opener as he cut inside from the right and rolled the ball across for Olmo to hit it first time into the bottom left corner.
It was Yamal's third assist of the tournament, the most by a teenager at a Euros.
Substitute Nico F&uuml;llkrug hit the post in a late desperate onslaught by Germany, which was rewarded just in the nick of time.
Joshua Kimmich nodded Maximilian Mittelst&auml;dt's cross back to Wirtz, whose effort went in off the far post.
The teams had more chances to win in extra time and Germany was incensed in the first period when referee Anthony Taylor didn't give a penalty after Jamal Musiala's shot smashed against Marc Cucurella's hand.
Nagelsmann called for a change in rules for handball so that a penalty would be given if the shot was on target, removing the interpretation of intent.
&ldquo;There are 50 robots that bring us coffee, so there must be an AI that calculates where the ball will go,&rdquo; he said.
Just as a shootout was looming, Merino leapt high to head in Olmo's cross and send the Spanish fans behind the goal into a frenzy.
"They always tell you to enjoy the moment, but when you get to minute 105 it is impossible not to think about the penalties," Spain goalkeeper Unai Sim&oacute;n said. "And as the minutes ticked down, I couldn't help but think that (Kai) Havertz, F&uuml;llkrug, and Toni were out there. Mikel saved us from a real bind."&nbsp;
&nbsp;
France beat Portugal 5-3 in a penalty shootout to reach the European Championship semifinals on Friday, ending Cristiano Ronaldo's bid to win the title in his last appearance at the tournament.
After the game finished 0-0 following extra time, Joao Felix hit a post with a penalty in the shootout and Theo Hern&aacute;ndez converted the clinching kick.
France lost in penalty shootouts at its last two major tournaments &mdash; in the last 16 at the Euros in 2021 and in the 2022 World Cup final.
The 39-year-old Ronaldo has said this was his record sixth and last European Championship.
France will play Spain in the semifinals after its extra-time win over Germany in Stuttgart.&nbsp;

Here's what to know about the match: Match facts &mdash; It's a match between two of the pre-tournament favorites but neither have been convincing. Portugal hasn't scored a goal in its last two matches &mdash; a 2-0 loss to Georgia and a 0-0 with Slovenia before winning a penalty shootout &mdash; while no France player has scored from open play at Euro 2024. The French have had two own-goals and a penalty from Mbapp&eacute;.
&mdash; Ronaldo burst into tears after having a penalty saved in extra time against Slovenia. Appearing in his record sixth European Championship, he has yet to score &mdash; if he does, the 39-year-old striker would be the oldest ever scorer at the tournament.
&mdash; Mbapp&eacute; will again be wearing a protective mask after sustaining a broken nose in France's group opener against Austria. France coach Didier Deschamps said after the last-16 win over Belgium that Mbapp&eacute; might need to wear the mask for "months." &mdash; The match will be played exactly 18 years after the nations' meeting in the 2006 World Cup semifinals, when Zinedine Zidane scored the winner from the penalty spot. Ronaldo played the full match and the player of the match was Lilian Thuram, whose son, Marcus, is likely to feature for France in Hamburg. 
Switzerland is on the verge of making history at Euro 2024, but a few months ago it was a team under severe pressure.
A dinner and some "super" red wine in Duesseldorf &mdash; where Switzerland plays England on Saturday &mdash; helped captain Granit Xhaka and coach Murat Yakin turn things around.
The Swiss team eliminated defending champion Italy last week and is a step away from the semifinals, which would be its best-ever result at any tournament.
Just over four months ago, however, things were very different. Switzerland had won just one of its previous seven games, and that was against tiny Andorra. During that time, Xhaka had publicly criticised the team's training sessions &mdash; and by implication Yakin &mdash; and likened the team's performance to a kick-about "in the park." In February, Yakin came to visit Xhaka for dinner in Duesseldorf, just up the road from where Xhaka was playing for the then-undefeated Bayer Leverkusen.
What exactly they talked about remains a secret &mdash; and so does the menu &mdash; but both men have said the dinner was an important moment in the bond between coach and captain. It may have helped that Xhaka scored his first goal for Leverkusen the next day. 
Turkey will face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after winning a thriller with Austria 2-1 as both countries reached the last eight of a European Championship for the first time since 2008.
Merih Demiral was the unlikely hero for Turkey, in soaking Leipzig, after bundling his team ahead with less than a minute on the clock and then thumping in the decisive header just before the hour mark.
Vincenzo Montella's side, who were missing suspended captain Hakan Calhanoglu but once again backed by massive support at the Zentralstadion, will take on the Dutch in Berlin on Saturday after their comfortable 3-0 win over Romania earlier on Tuesday.
Turkey were beaten 6-1 by Austria in March and Montella admitted he was hoping to get his own back for that embarrassing defeat.
"I denied it yesterday but today I can admit that Austria was the team I wanted so that I could get rid of that stain that as a coach I had on me," said Montella.
Turkey will again be able to count on their raucous fans in the German capital as they aim to replicate their run to the last four from 16 years ago.
That tournament was co-hosted by Austria, who played a full part in an engrossing match and on another day may have run out winners.
Ralf Rangnick's side were on top for most of the match and in particular in the second half, when they pinned Turkey back and conceded the second goal completely against the run of play.
Al-Ahli centre-back Demiral became the first European defender to score twice in the knockout stages of a major tournament since Lilian Thuram for France at the 1998 World Cup.
Michael Gregoritsch halved the deficit by forcing home Stefan Posch's flick on at another corner shortly after Demiral took his international goal tally to four in 48 caps.
But Austria couldn't capitalise on their dominance and went out after Christoph Baumgartner was denied a leveller in the final seconds of added time by an incredible Mert Gunok save.
"I believe if the game had gone into extra-time we would have won the game because the Turkish team were exhausted and we had a physical advantage," Rangnick told reporters.
Dutch ease through Cody Gakpo and Donyell Malen, with a brace in the second half, eased the Dutch through to the last eight.
Ronald Koeman's side were heavily criticised after the 3-2 defeat to Austria which led the Oranje to finish third in Group D.
But they were impressive on Tuesday, creating a hatful of chances and running out deserved winners in at the Allianz Arena.

Euro 2024 Group Stage Recap: Drama, milestones, historic feats and unwanted records; all you need to know

The UEFA Euro 2024 group stage delivered incredible stories and historic moments. The knockout stage promises more surprises with big clashes ahead. Who will claim glory on July 14?

The UEFA Euro 2024 group stage concluded with a flurry of drama and historic moments, setting the stage for an exhilarating knockout phase. Slovenia and tournament debutants Georgia made history by advancing to the knockout stage for the first time, while Austria emerged as surprise winners of Group D ahead of powerhouses France and the Netherlands.
Spain stood out as the only team to achieve a perfect record, winning all three of their group matches convincingly. However, the group stage also saw unexpected outcomes, such as Ukraine's unfortunate exit despite finishing with four points due to goal difference.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a stalwart of Portuguese football, notably failed to score a goal in the group stage, marking a rare occurrence in major tournament history. Another statistical anomaly was the absence of direct free-kick goals among the 81 goals scored so far.
Group C delivered the joint-lowest goal tally in a group stage, with only seven goals across six matches. The group also witnessed unprecedented back-to-back goalless draws, adding to the tournament's unpredictability.
Looking Ahead to the UEFA Euro 2024 Knockout Stage
With Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, and Belgium all placed on one side of the knockout draw, fans anticipate intense battles and the inevitable elimination of football giants. On the other side, the likes of Netherlands, England, and reigning champions Italy are poised as favorites to progress deep into the tournament.
As the knockout stage promises more drama and potential upsets, football enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly awaiting to see which nation will rise to the occasion and lift the UEFA Euro 2024 trophy on July 14.

Euro 2024: From Ronaldo to Kroos, find out which football legends will or could retire soon!

Cristiano Ronaldo to Robert Lewandowski, find out which football legends will or could hang up their boots after Euro 2024. These stalwarts have been around for nearly two decades; some more than that!

The Euro 2024 kicked off on June 14 with a stunning result as hosts Germany triumphed 5-1 over Scotland at Munich's Allianz Arena. The tournament will mark the final appearance for some of football's biggest names. Among them, two legends graced the field for Die Mannschaft. But who else is bidding farewell to the Euros? Let's find out...
Manuel Neuer (38 years - Germany) Approaching 42 by the next European Championships, Neuer defies the typical lifespan of a goalkeeper. However, it would be a record-breaking achievement for the legendary Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper to extend his international career for another edition of the competition.
Toni Kroos (34 years - Germany) At 34, Kroos has already announced his retirement after a stellar, trophy-laden career, culminating in recent triumphs in La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid. The iconic midfielder now aims to bow out with one last major trophy for his country.
Luka Modric (38 years - Croatia) Another stalwart from Real Madrid's class of 2023-24 who could bid farewell from the international stage is Luka Modric. Since 2006, the 38-year-old has been pulling the strings for Croatia. While he has agreed to a one-year extension at the club level, Euro 2024 could mark his international swansong.
Cristiano Ronaldo (39 years - Portugal) Next on the list is 2016 winner Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese legend, the only current international with over 200 official caps for his country, will make a record-breaking sixth Euro appearance in 2024. This tournament will surely be the last time we see the iconic 39-year-old attacker.
Pepe (41 years - Portugal) Ronaldo is known to break records wherever he goes, but one that he might not break is the one that his compatriot holds. Even at 41, Pepe is showing no signs of stopping. The defensive juggernaut will feature in the tournament for the fifth time, becoming the oldest player overall to do so in the tournament.
Kevin De Bruyne (32 years) The youngest player in this list, Kevin De Bruyne, who turns 33 later this month, could well be featuring in his last Euros. Despite injuries in recent seasons, the Manchester City star has been a key figure for both club and country. However, the five-time Premier League winner might retire from international football before the 2028 edition.
Robert Lewandowski (35 years) Lastly, Poland's Robert Lewandowski, now 35 and playing for Barcelona, will be eager to end his international career on a high note by guiding his national team beyond the quarterfinals for the first time.
Other notable mentions:
<ul>
<li>Germany Ilkay Gundogan (33 years)&nbsp; Thomas Muller (34 years)</li>
<li>Spain Jesus Navas (38 years)</li>
<li>England Harry Kane (30 years) Kyle Walker (34 years)</li>
<li>Netherlands Daley Blind (34 years) Virgil Van Dijk (32 years)</li>
<li>France Olivier Giroud (37 years) Antoine Griezmann (33 years)</li>

<h2>Real Madrid said that Kroos &ldquo;has decided to bring an end to his time as a professional footballer following Euro 2024.&rdquo;</h2>

Toni Kroos will retire from football after the 2024 European Championship and will also leave Real Madrid, the club said on Tuesday.
Kroos had initially retired from the German national team but made a U-turn to come back in time for Euros 2024.
Real Madrid said that the 34-year-old German international &ldquo;has decided to bring an end to his time as a professional footballer following Euro 2024.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection to Toni Kroos, a player who will go down in Real Madrid history as one of our club and international football's greatest legends,&rdquo; the club said.
Kroos has been with Madrid since 2014, helping it win 22 titles, including four European Cups and four Spanish leagues. He made 463 appearances with the club.
Kroos put out a lengthy message to the Madrid fans on his Instagram and said that his life changed on the day he was unveiled as a Real Madrid player. Kroos said that his career is coming to an end as he wanted Los Blancos to be his final club.
"July 17th, 2014 - the day of my presentation at Real Madrid, the day that changed my life. My life as a footballer - but especially as a person. It was the start of a new chapter at the biggest club in the world. After 10 years, at the end of the season this chapter comes to an end."
"I will never forget that insolent successful time! I would particularly like to thank everyone that welcomed me with an open heart and trusted me. But especially I would like to thank you, dear Madridistas, for your affection and your love from the first day until the last one."
"At the same time this decision means that my career as an active footballer will end this summer after the Euro championship. As I have always said: Real Madrid is and will be my last club. I am happy and proud, that in my mind I found the right timing for my decision and that I could choose it by my own. My ambition was always to finish my career at the peak of my performance level. From now on there is only one leading thought: a por la 15!!! HALA MADRID Y NADA MAS!" read the statement.

With Ronaldo already declaring that he wants to play through to Euro 2024, he will most likely go past the 200 international games landmark this summer.
