Football/ Spain crush Turkey 6-0, Kimpembe Leaves PSG, England doubts Tuchel

In Spain, La Roja’s massive 6-0 win over Turkey is making headlines. Pedri and Merino, scoring a brace and a hat-trick respectively, led a side considered unstoppable. With Lamine Yamal once again pulling the strings brilliantly, Spain looks so dominant that Marca dares to compare the current squad with the legendary 2010 World Cup and Euro-winning team. The only downside to the night was Nico Williams’ injury, which Mundo Deportivo highlights as a concern.

In France, Presnel Kimpembe’s departure is the big story. Having joined PSG at the age of eight, the defender is ending his long Parisian adventure to move to Qatar. Le Parisien hails it as “the departure of a legend”, recalling his 27 trophies won in the red and blue shirt. A tribute will soon be held for him at the Parc des Princes.

Meanwhile, England is going through a period of doubt. While the Daily Mirror still speaks of a “roadmap to glory”, the Daily Express points out a team struggling to find its identity under Thomas Tuchel. With Marcus Rashford facing criticism and Eberechi Eze under pressure to prove himself, the British press remains divided over the future of the Three Lions.
