Spain forward Lucía García has told ESPN she is blown away by teammate Alexia Putellas every time she trains with her.

Spain reached the quarter-finals of Women's Euro 2025 on Monday after the world champions hammered Belgium 6-2 while Italy were held to a 1-1 draw with Portugal at the death.- Italy denied at death - Italy thought they were joining Spain in the quarters when Cristiana Girelli opened the scoring in Geneva with a brilliant curling effort with 20 minutes remaining.

World Cup champion Spain closed in on the quarterfinals of the Women’s European Championship with a 6-2 win over Belgium on Monday.

England defender Lucy Bronze says Spain are just trying to deflect the pressure on to other teams by claiming the Lionesses are the favourites to win the European Championships.

Alexia Putellas is reveling in her phenomenal start to Women's Euro 2025 as her dazzling performances in Spain's title bid reminded fans why she is a two-time Ballon d'Or winner.

That proved to be premature, as Putellas returned to the pitch in April 2023 and was back in the Spain squad for that summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. She played seven times and provided an assist, but had not built up enough rhythm to show her best form.

Spain defender Olga Carmona said there is no mention of the word favourites as they prepare to face Belgium in the European Championship on Monday.

Italy go into their clash against Spain at the Euros on Friday with no fear of the Group B leaders, defender Elisabetta Oliviero said, despite her side needing at least a draw to ensure they progress alongside the Spaniards.
