  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Luis de la Fuente’s side have been toasting that achievement back in their homeland, with each member of the triumphant squad being presented to jubilant supporters. One unsung hero took centre stage during that parade, with Navas getting special treatment.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Experienced defender Navas, who is 38 years of age, stepped in to provide cover for the suspended Dani Carvajal during a semi-final showdown with France. He helped to keep a World Cup-winning, Real Madrid-bound superstar relatively quiet in that contest, leading his team-mates to lift him up while singing “where is Mbappe?”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    Spain prevailed 2-1 against France, as they hit back from falling behind early on. They won their quarter-final against Germany by the same scoreline, before then repeating the trick against England. A Finalisssima date with Copa America champions Argentina – with Lionel Messi in their ranks – has now been lined up for Lamine Yamal and Co.
