russia are level at the luzhniki! clock was ticking, but the spanish cavalry were yet to arrive. extra time came, extra time went, and spain still couldn't penetrate the white wall. and so it came to penalties, the first russia had ever faced in a world cup. one by one, they were scored, as the luzhniki held its breath and then koke stepped up for spain. as a nation collectively willed him to miss, it was down to aspas to save spain from humiliation. spain are out! as a patriotic outpouring of emotion rained down, the players‘ message was simple. "we play for you". they were once a laughing stock. they are now heroes. well, that result means these guys will be partying long into the night. germany, argentina, portugal and now spain are gone. this is truly the world cup of shocks. natalie pirks, bbc news, at the luzhniki. as you can imagine, there will be celebrations across russia as they look forward to their what will be their first quarterfinal appearance since 1970. our moscow correspdient steve rosenberg reports

they werejoined at luzhniki stadium ahead of their game against croatia. the feeling in the count reminds him of euro 96, a tournament he played in and where england made the last four. the feel of this group of players is very similar to the players we had then. but that team was a lot more experienced, in terms of its age and experience of big matches. but we approached this tournament in the same way. you know, we were a group of guys having a lot of fun, enjoying our football, learning and improving all the time. and that's what these lads have done, and yeah, we're going into a semifinal, but itjust seems to us like it's the next step on the journey. the big story away from the world cup is cristiano ronaldo. he is on his way tojuventus after the italian champions agreed to pay real madrid a fee in the region of $140 million. ronaldo, who is now 33, won four champions league titles in his nine years at real. he said the time had come to open a new stage in his life. earlier we spoke to spanish football expert eduardo alvarez, in madrid, and asked him

final preparations today at the luzhniki stadium. close shave against colombia, england will be hoping tonight's game is decided before penalties. but croatia mean business. a battle hardened squad are determined they will be the ones to progress, training last night for an hour at a high intensity, despite their recent tough games. their head coach, that zlatko dalic, saying in his press conference, it should be no surprise that his team is amongst the final four. and that the strength of his players has been underestimated. the trophy may have changed, the ambition remains the same. and england sense a chance to bring it home once more. and let's go to moscow. it seems a long time ago, and 290 those tears of joy long time ago, and 290 those tears ofjoy ring. 17 of the squad but even born when england were in their last world cup semifinal. croatia made their debut in 1998 when the lost to the eventual winners france and they are really going to be up for this as well. they have been training very intently and you can feel the atmos

and dan's now live inside the luzhniki stadium.rdinaryjourney for the england team. yes, it has indeed. when you consider where england have come from, four years ago i was in brazil to see them crash out of the world cup to see them crash out of the world cu p after to see them crash out of the world cup after five days and two matches. two years ago they were humiliated by iceland at the euros. they have confounded this time around, historically low expectations, but they have been together, with their mindset, their talent and their determination. maybe gareth southgate knew something we did not. but england are not meant to get through on penalties, they are not meant to get beyond the quarterfinal stage, but who would ever see the likes of kieran trippier or harry maguire orjordan pickford come of age in the way they have? can this journey continue? england will have to play better than they have so far here in russia. they are about to come up against a team in croatia thatis come up against a team in croatia that is their st

celebrating and second trophy in twenty years after powering to afford to victory over croatia at the luzhniki stadium.

is trailing for one with just over twenty minutes left in the world cup final being played at the luzhniki stadium in moscow. just looking out at that trademark celebration right now there be lots of his the fans doing the right the weeks and months to come so that is high things stand right at the moment these are scenes it's rights to be in france we'll be looking at paris i think marci was there as well yes it is so these are the fans who will be celebrating the second it looks like now the second world cup title to come to france the first one twenty years ago on home soil we'll against brazil be if it stays the same way it's just us and felt like a victory for wall france lead against for a week. here we will of. course we could be a very close eye on developments in the game but just let's move away slightly from the football chill the global news we're keeping a close check on one donald trump is currently heading to helsinki for his first formal summit with the russian president vladimir putin and despite the state of bilateral relations the u.s. leader has said that while he has l

an exhilarating match at luzhniki stadium. will champions for a second time france.takes five weeks to get inside football ‘s greatest prize. all the matches and heartache come down to one final. the france and croatia the opportunity of a generation. 20 yea rs opportunity of a generation. 20 years ago, france won it on home soil. that day they dominated from the start. croatia had the better of these opening but a deflection from mario mandzukic gay france the advantage. perisic was key but a then a closer look at the penalty is ruled. it was put away by griezmann and that felt like a pivotal moment. while croatia protester, france looked a profit. a 2—goal advantage and then kylian mbappe made it so. the first teenagers to score in a world cup final since pele. a final twist with hugo lloris getting into trouble. as the rain and curtain came down on moscow, a second—half storm was enough to take this will carp back to france. what a storm that was, when the heavens at simply open. a clap of thunder went off at the exact moment hugo lloris lifted the exact moment hu

these were the scenes in the fan park near the moscow state university that actually overlooks the luzhnikidium, 25,000 can packin the luzhniki stadium, 25,000 can pack in there but those scenes will be replicated nationwide, their first quarter—final since 1970 and the first time they've won a knockout match at a world cup since 1966. iniesta, who scored spain's first penalty, announced his international retirement after the game. that defeat his 131st match for spain, he's been a legend of the game, the double european and world champion. he started on the bench. les get some reaction from the spanish exit on cesc fabregas, who missed out on selection for this world cup. there's a lot of talent in this team. you look at the names, the best defence, two real madrid players, two barcelona players, you have busquets, the best holding midfielder in the world, you have iniesta, silva, you can't really find better names or better players than these positions. to lose your coach two days before has to have an affect? it has to, as a professional ifi affect? it has to, as a professional if i was

i am sure they are but that is the world—class stage, the luzhniki stadium, where they will ta ke luzhnikiey will take on the french. the french will be heavy favourites remember, they are the team that knocked argentina out and they are looking stronger as they progress through this tournament, one more match for them. it's the third world cup final. they w011 it's the third world cup final. they won it on home soil in 98. they have some world—class players. whatjaffa mbappe. but croatia will feel this is finally their year, their squad has been together for years and they know each other well with the likes of modric and rakotic in the squad. they are world—class and we hope it should be a wonderful world cup final. for england, that third—place play—off, the match that nobody wa nts to play—off, the match that nobody wants to play as they face the belgians on saturday in petersburg but all lies, really, on that stadium behind me, croatia against violence for the right to be called world champions. —— against france. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. us president donald

it is a relatively quiet day at moscow's luzhniki stadium, but it is early morning. hours it is going to be absolutely packed with england and croatia fans as the second of the semifinals gets under way. of course, let's not forget we already know which team the winner of the night's match will face, and that will be france. france beat belgium inafairly will be france. france beat belgium in a fairly gripping match. he definitely didn't produce lots of goals, though. france one i—o definitely didn't produce lots of goals, though. france one 1—0 to belgium, as tim allman reports. in paris, pandemonium. it felt like an entire nation had come out to celebrate. a huge party. imagine what it would be like if france were to actually win the world cup. translation: we feel a lot of joy. we're really happy. we knew they were going to win. it was perfect. translation: i experienced this 20 years ago. i told my kids about it. now they're grown—ups. it's going to be my second final, and i hope my second victory. perhaps unsurprisingly, this was what they would call a cagey gam

history awaits the winner of this game, against france in the world cup final back here at the luzhnikiand and gareth southgate knows what lies ahead. history could be raid, thank much, richard conway. so what of england's opponents tonight — croatia? they have a squad with so much experience — their players have nine champions league titles between them — four of those belong to luka modric. he plays alongside another superstar ivan rakitic in midfield. those two play for spain's two leading sides real madrid and barcelona. rakitic, modric and striker mario mandzukic all made their croatia debuts more than a decade ago — they've spent a lot of time playing together, unlike england's team. so they will be ready for the big match tonight. to the all england club, and its men's quarter finals day at wimbledon. of the eight men remaining, only one has yet to play in a grand slam final. john watson is there for us and john, we could be in for quite some day... yes, a special day for the wimbledon faithful, not least because we have the big three back in the last eight in the men's singles f

this may not be the luzhniki stadium and this may not be the final between france and croatia on the field we don't have them by playing the conte all moderates we only have dummy a mud and and i would err on the french side but these teams are just this passionate just as excited to be here and just as the time in to when. kobe satisfied with. one zero one it will be ok for friendship like a one zero zero for friendship with rachel this is the friendly game spreading the sport of culture and initiating defines friendship so today who wins is not important but what's the score going to be a score. i think five three the four somebody yeah five on people for we don't know how he would fall for our friendship ok very good last we have a name you know is not a problem you know it's only for friendship just like. when we should jump one shotgun yes. alvear gun shot is another. man's. final whistle gone it's four three to the car lots of similar to what's on the player's predicted earlier. the second spot. brings as many goals and as much excitement. yeah i'm getting excited just looking

the 80,000 people there at the luzhniki stadium were richly entertained, they got value for money.final was always going to be gripping in its own way, just astonishing from croatia who have now played three lots of extra time in more than a knockout matches. they knocked out the danish on penalties and then the hosts on penalties. this one didn't go to a shootout but croatia had to dig deeper because england made a wonderful start, ciaran trippier with a lovely kick over the croatian wall, and croatia were absolutely stunned. harry kane thought he should have kicked a couple but this is where croatia's experience began to tell because when they pulled one back with 20 minutes to go, england lost their way a little, lost their shape. croatia so experienced, they have on average 30 more per man than england. and then extra time in the second period of extra time, just when we thought we were going to penalties, english hearts were broken and absolutely jubilant scenes with all those croatian fans with their distinctive red and white chequered tops. wonderful achievement for croatia

robbed across fronts after a thrilling four two victory over croatia and the final at moscow's at luzhniki stadium. and now we're blind story by donald trump arrives in helsinki but his first summit was lattimer put and. welcome to our to international coming to you live from moscow where the world cup has just come to us thrilling and france is celebrating at second trophy in twenty years and this was the scene in paris after the final whistle. france power to a four two victory over croatia at the luzhniki stadium and the russian capital france manager. has become the third person and football history to win the tournament as both a player and a coach his side down for a post match news conference which didn't go exactly as planned. in english please . shyly. nobody. believes that somebody yes g.t.d. that is somebody that was a bit of a d.v.d. that is obviously all the game side top flight back from croatia who were in their first avatar world cup final here at the key moments and the breakdown of the match from manchester united boss jones and morning. was of the i the. the life. of the

absolutely, and france heading here for that sunday final at the luzhniki stadium here in moscow.re goals, because remember, these two teams, france and belgium, they were the ones that knocked out argentina and brazil on their way to this semi—final. so many world stars in those two teams. theyjust seemed to sort of cancel each other out, both goalkeepers had to be very good and pulled off some smart saves, but it was just that umtiti header that deflected off maroune fellaini, it was, the belgian man, and past thibaut courtois. 1—0 to the french, they're into their third world cup final. they were winners in ‘98 and runners—up in 2006. didier deschamps, a winner as a captain in 2008, and he is the coach as well, so maybe he's on for a 20—year double. but of course, we'll wait to see who the french will face, because we're looking forward with much interest to that second semi—final here at the luzhniki on wednesday. oh, absolutely, and in theory, olly, at this time tomorrow we should know who is going through and who will be meeting france. unless the penalty shootout is going o

on the pitch of the luzhniki stadium ambitions will be realised.ls like the dreams of fans are shared by the team. our country has been through some difficult moments recently, in terms of its unity and i think sport has the power to do that. and football in particular has that power to do that. so, for us, we can feel the energy and we can feel the support from home and that's a very special feeling. it's a privilege for us. already this morning, some fans have been arriving without tickets, hoping to buy them at the collection offices but, instead, finding smiling volunteers with little information. have you any tickets for the england game? no. no tickets, sorry. england's first world cup semifinal in 28 years is a hot ticket but, as of this morning, fifa's website wasn't even showing the game. so it's left england fans having to get in the dreaded queue. booked the flights, went to the website, just kept crashing. all it does is open up the black market. with as many of the people as this. they released about a hundred tickets in the last 20 mi

let's show you the scene at the fans' park on just across the river from the luzhniki stadium.the moscow state university. the scenes there when those penalties were saved, a fantastic night yet again for russia. it's the first time they have won a knockout tie at the world cup in1966, the have won a knockout tie at the world cup in 1966, the first time they have been into a quarterfinal since 1970. my work, they have waited a long time to do this well they world cup and this is their own world cup, which makes it feel so very special. so they are now heading to sochi for their next game in six days' time next saturday, for that quarterfinal. we don't know who it is going to be because the match in nizhny novgorod between croatia and denmark is still going on. that one has gone to extra time as well. it was 1—1 very early on, denmark taking a surprise lead through mathias jorgensen after a taking a surprise lead through mathiasjorgensen after a goalmouth scramble. he managed to top that one away after a defensive mix—up from a long throw. but mario mandzukic soon equalised for

russia are level at the luzhniki!valry we re ticking, but the spanish cavalry were yet to arrive. extra time came, extra time went, and spain still couldn't get past the white wall. russia had never faced couldn't get past the white wall. russia had neverfaced worker penalties before, as the luzhniki collectively held its breath, or had scored before koke stepped up for spain. with everyone else letting their policies, it was down to aspas to save spain from this humiliation. spain are out! the fans went wild. the banner said, we play for you. for spain, this tournament will be one to forget. they never looked convincing, but no one thought the 2010 champions would be beaten by the lowest ranked side in this tournament. germany, argentina, portugal and now spain, gone. this is truly the world cup shocks. so who will face russia in the quarterfinals, denmark or croatia will have that honour. denmark and croatia are planning the second half of their much. denmark took the lead. denmark took the lead thanks to the fastes
