EURO 2024
-The Portuguese Football Federation has asked UEFA to increase security around the pitches at EURO 2024. This is due to 6 fans invading the field trying to get a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo yesterday.
-Spain risk violating German law due to Lamine Yamal’s participation in matches. German regulations prohibit U18s from working past 20:00, but athletes can play until 23:00, including time for showering and media duties. If Yamal plays the full match against Albania, it would be difficult to comply with the law and Spain could face a fine.

-Romelu Lukaku has missed more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities (4) than any other player at EURO 2024.
-The only goalkeepers to have kept a clean sheet in both EURO 2024 matches are: Mike Maignan(France) and Unai Simon (Spain).
-Top scorers after Matchday 2 are:
🇬🇪 Georges Mikautadze (Georgia) – 2
🇩🇪 Jamal Musiala (Germany) – 2
🇸🇰 Ivan Schranz (Slovakia) – 2
-For the first time in UEFA European Championship history, all four teams in a specific group (Group E) are level points going into the final matchday.
-Spain are, along with France, one of two teams yet to concede a goal in the first two matchdays of Euro 2024.
