And now it’s time to look ahead to day two.


Who is playing today? 👀

There are three matches coming our way today, beginning with the other nations in Group A – Hungary and Switzerland – meeting in Cologne.

Then we head to Berlin, where Spain and Croatia will kick things off in a mouthwatering Group B clash.

Before holders Italy round off the day when they take on Albania in Dortmund.


Player to watch 🔎

After hopefully putting his injury woes behind him, Spain midfielder Pedri looks set to star at the Euros.

The 21-year-old finished the season strongly for Barcelona and warmed up for the tournament with a brace in a 5-1 win against Northern Ireland last week.

He is a special talent, and his battle with Croatia’s experienced midfield trio of Luka Modrić, Marcelo Brozović and Mateo Kovačić should be entertaining later today.


Must-watch video 🎥

If Spain bring the same intensity to real matches as they do to training matches, they are going to be hard to beat at this tournament.
