The encounter between France and Germany attracts attention across Europe. In Munich, both nations can lay the foundation for a good tournament.

In Germany, expectations are high after the miserable performance in 2018: “Jogi, we want a new summer fairy tale”, demands the ‘Bild’ from the national coach and brings back memories of the 2006 home World Cup. In Spain you can even see an early final: “A finale to start with”is what it says in the ‘Marca’.

Spanish press with criticism of Luis Enriqué
“All well and good, but no goals”, the ‘Marca’ sums up the goalless draw of the Spaniards against Sweden. The daily newspaper brings the game to the point. La Furia Roja failed to convert their superiority into goals. This is also recognized by the ‘as’ on the front page: “Siege without a goal.“This is what it looked like at times when the technically skilled footballers from Spain let the ball circulate around the Swedes’ penalty area. Álvaro Morata is just as exposed to criticism as Luis Enriqué due to lack of effectiveness. The coach brought Gerard Moreno a quarter of an hour before the end. It was too late for the press. ‘Super Deporte’ attested the player from FC Villarreal “Much more pleasure” as Morata and calls for the striker to start the next game.
Has CR7 already said goodbye?
In Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo is once again dominating the headlines. The Portuguese superstar is said to have said goodbye to his teammates at Juve in Turin. The striker does not answer any questions about this. The ‘Corriere dello Sport’ writes of an undercooled relationship with Juventus. The ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ names Paris St. Germain and Manchester United as possible targets for CR7. The topic will certainly accompany the football world through the summer.
