    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    While La Roja triumphed over the Dutch in a dramatic penalty shootout that went to sudden death, Yamal's surprising miss sparked a playful yet tough response from Barcelona and national team-mate Pedri. His reaction highlighted the strong camaraderie within the Catalan squad and reflected the friendly atmosphere fostered by coach Luis de la Fuente, who is on course to guide the nation to a second international trophy in a year.

  • WHAT PEDRI SAID

    Speaking to DAZN following Spain's penalty shoot-out victory, Pedri gave his thoughts on Yamal's missed spot-kick (h/t Football Espana): “I told Lamine what a sh*t penalty he took. He’s a player who learns from these things; the pressure doesn’t get to him. You have to take it to be able to miss it.”

    WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?

    Barcelona will return to action later this week when they take on Osasuna in a controversially rescheduled La Liga game on Thursday. The Catalans, who are currently leading the league table with 60 points, will be missing a number of key players due to international duty as they look to move clear of eternal rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table.
