SPAIN got their Euro 2024 campaign off to a flying start with a 3-0 win over Croatia! Former Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata opened the scoring before Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal added goals before half-time.

Italy and minnows Albania complete Group B, and they play tonight.

EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERS This seemed like the day Lamine Yamal announced himself really to the world. Everyone in Spain already knew him, and how good he has been for Barcelona this season, but for many this would be their first time watching the 16-year-old magician. To me, he looks like a second coming of Riyad Mahrez, with an even higher ceiling.



His assist today was simply sublime, a curling ball from the right-hand side, delivered first-class from his left boot. It was set up perfectly for Dani Carvajal to finish on the volley. He was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet himself, as he was played in on goal by Pedri only to be denied by a fantastic Dominik Livakovic save.

He was sensational, and is fully deserving of all the plaudits he is set to receive for that performance. Bring on Italy. Alvaro Morata became a meme during his time at Chelsea, and might not be the first name who pops into your mind when you think of elite strikers.

But at international level, his credentials as a top class number nine cannot be denied a.
