Euro day six. Which players to watch today?

On the sixth day of the European Championship, stadiums in Thun and Geneva will host Group B. The Spanish team, which has so far achieved the biggest win of the tournament – 5:0 against Portugal – will be playing in this group. The Portuguese can redeem themselves today in their match against Italy. The question is whether the biggest star of the Portuguese squad, Kika Nazareth, will play. Here is today's selection of players to watch.

Spain - Mariona Caldentey

Mariona Caldentey transferred as a free agent from Barcelona to Arsenal, where she once again won the Champions League title. The highly effective striker is, along with Alessia Russo, one of the hot favorites to win the Ballon d'Or. She seems to be coping well with the transfer from the Spanish to the English league. The Gooners voted her player of the season.

Portugal - Kika Nazareth

The Portuguese team's biggest star has been struggling with injury since March. So it was a pleasant surprise for everyone that she finally made it to Switzerland. However, she did not play in the opening match against Spain. Only she and the coach know whether she will play today. Nevertheless, if Portugal wants to advance from the group stage, it is time for Kika to show her skills.

Italy - Sofia Cantore

After the tournament, the 25-year-old Italian will join Washington Spirit, where she has just transferred from Juventus. Cantore regularly works with a mental coach who helps her cope with pressure. And it clearly helps. She scored 30 goals in 94 games for Juventus. And today, she would certainly like to score a goal for the national team.

Belgium - Amber Tysiak

Red Flames will not have an easy time against Spain today. However, their goal will be protected by West Ham's highly experienced defender Amber Tysiak. A trained teacher, she is one of the most experienced Belgian players and will certainly make it difficult for the Spanish to score.

Euro day five. Which players to watch today?

All the groups have played their opening games, and we return to Group A, where Norway beat Switzerland 2-1 and Finland beat Iceland 1-0 on the first day. Today, Finland will face Norway and Switzerland will face Iceland. Which players should you watch?

Switzerland - Sydney Schertenleib

At eighteen, she is the youngest player at Euro, but she definitely has a lot to offer. Already at such a young age, she wears the Barcelona jersey, and the media is betting on her as one of the greatest talents of the upcoming generation. She got to Barcelona through a curious story—she didn't have an agent, and scouts approached her via Instagram.

Norway - Ingrid Engen

While we picked a young talent in Switzerland, we're going with a pretty proven player in Norway. But Ingrid Engen's story is way more complicated. After the tournament, she'll be moving from Barcelona to Lyon. Unlike in Barcelona, where she didn't get much playing time, she's a solid part of the national team's starting lineup and can show her full potential.

Finland - Katariina Kosola

Kosola will enter the match as the player who scored the very first goal of the tournament. It was also the only goal Finland needed to secure a three-point victory. Kosola transferred to Malmö this season from Häcken, with whom she also played in the Champions League, where she also managed to score goals.

Iceland - GlĂłdĂ­s Perla ViggĂłsdĂłttir

One of the most experienced players on the Icelandic team, she has represented the national team since 2012. Although the Icelandic team does not have as many star players as Norway, for example, ViggĂłsdĂłttir is one of them. Her list of achievements includes a nomination for the Ballon d'Or.

Cruel! Defending champions The Lionesses defeated by France 2-1

  • France defeated reigning holders England 2–1 in Zurich during their Group D opener at Euro 2025, marking the first time a reigning champion has lost their opening match in tournament history. France remain unbeaten 11 matches in a row.
  • After England’s early strike by Alessia Russo was ruled out via VAR for offside, France took control: Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored in the 36th minute, swiftly followed by Sandy Baltimore just three minutes later with a fine solo effort.
  • Keira Walsh pulled one back with a long-range effort in the 87th minute—England’s first shot on target—but it wasn’t enough, and France held firm to secure victory.
