to say that we were in mataro, spain, the place where lamine yamal was playing on concrete on the back streets of this small town down from barcelonalovely family from birmingham whom we visited every single time england were playing, but it wasn't meant to be this time. spain have one the euro 2024 football tournament 2—1 against england. there will be lots of reaction and analysis across bbc news and bbc sport. but friend me and the team for the time being, congratulations to spain, bye for now. we are very nearly through we are very nearly throuthuly and the summer has been very cool and for some of us very wet indeed. there's some heavy rain and forecast for the week ahead, but it's likely to be drier and warmerfor a time. in the short term, it is this area of low pressure swirling its way in from the southwest, and this system will generate some very heavy rain across the south of the uk during monday. further north, many places getting off to a fine start with some sunshine, but let's zoom in — some heavy thundery downpours for the channel islands, turning very wet across southern england, southwest england and also wales lik

lamine yamal turned 17 today. he is spain and the euro's youngest ever player. their1in1,000,000. so what are the odds of this photo? in 2007, barcelona'sity calendar had paired lionel messi with spain's football future. the boy in the bath made his club debut aged 15. yamal was made at la masia, barcelona's great academy, the place that helped this nation to its greatest football era. motson: spain are the european champions of 2008. _ in a four—year spell, spain won the euros twice and the world cup in between. at euro 2012, they beat italy in kyiv. chance for torres. 3—0 spain. but that's still the last time they reached a major final. 12 years isn't quite five decades of hurt, but spain's new generation has built success on change. i think we got too obsessed with the idea that everything goes via the midfielders, and possession is the end of everything, and luis de la fuente has added layers to the side. the use of wingers, being more direct, the pressure high that was always there. what these players have is adaptability. they know that there is 10, 15 games that you play in every single match. so winning it? yes. at this point pe
