Madrid, June 17 (Ians) The Spanish national team will look to claim their first UEFA Nations League title when they play Croatia in Rotterdam on Sunday.
The Spanish booked a consecutive appearance in the final with an impressive 2-1 win against Italy on Thursday, with a display of controlled football in midfield and pace in attack.
Substitute Joselu was in the right place at the right time to win the game and the striker, who is being linked with a possible return to Real Madrid from Espanyol, has a chance of being in Sunday’s starting 11.
Thursday’s win lifted some of the pressure off Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente after defeat in Scotland in March, with the Spanish sports paper Diario As reporting that defeat to the Italians would have seen the former Under-21 coach sacked and replaced by former Rayo Vallecano boss, Andoni Iraola, a Xinhua report said.

Madrid, May 31 (Ians) Sevilla’s coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar, has announced that every player in his first-team squad will travel Tuesday to Budapest for Wednesday’s Europa League final against Roma, where they’ll strive for a seventh title in the competition.
This means the suspended Marcos Acuna, along with Jesus ‘Tecatito’ Corona and Pape Gueye, will travel for a match that has more than prestige at stake, reports Xinhua.
In addition to the opportunity to hoist the trophy, Wednesday’s victor also secures a spot in the European Supercup and next season’s Champions League, which could provide a significant financial boost for the club.
With high stakes, Mendilibar rested several key players during his team’s 2-1 home defeat against Real Madrid on Saturday. Full-backs Jesus Navas and Alex Telles, defensive midfielder Fernando and forwards Lucas Ocampos and Youssef En-Nesyri all rested, while others like Ivan Rakitic and...

Madrid, May 22 (Ians) Real Madrid endured another setback this week, succumbing to a 1-0 defeat away to Valencia.
Thanks to a first-half goal from young striker Diego Lopez, Valencia practically ensured their continued place in the top-flight, reports Xinhua.
Lopez struck just past the half-hour mark, capitalizing on a mishit shot from Justin Kluivert. This ultimately awarded his team all three points against a significantly changed Madrid lineup, a stark contrast from the one that suffered a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in Wednesday’s Champions League match.
Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili showcased a series of exceptional saves to clinch the victory.
However, the match will also be memorable for off-field incidents. Madrid winger Vinicius Jr was provoked into an angry reaction following a racist insult from a fan in the stands and had to be placated by both rivals and teammates.
In the 96th minute, Vinicius Jr was shown...

New Delhi, May 18 (Ians) Seville, the Andalusian capital, is home to one of Spanish football’s most colourful derby meetings, between Real Betis and Sevilla Fc. Both among Laliga’s most historic clubs, and both previous Laliga Santander title winners, the Seville derby rivalry has divided allegiances and even families within the city for over a century.
A strong British influence existed when organised football was first played in Seville back in the last decade of the 19th century. The first club in Seville was created in 1890, while today’s Sevilla Fc were founded in 1905. Real Betis Balompie came into being just two years later.
After many official and unofficial early meetings in competitions as diverse as the Copa de Sevilla, Copa del Duque de Santo Mauro, Andalusian championship and Southern Regional Championship, the two clubs were founder members of Laliga’s second tier, with Real Betis winning both meetings in the inaugural 1928/29 season,...

New Delhi, May 18 (Ians) The city of Seville is gearing up for the second Gran Derbi of this Laliga Santander season. After the 1-1 draw at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in the first half of the campaign, it is now the turn of the Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan to host El Gran Derbi, with much more than just pride at stake.
Both teams are in an interesting position in the league table, chasing European qualification at the same time as several other storylines promise to make this a fascinating game.
Sevilla Fc will head into this match just a few days after the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Juventus at the same stadium. Two of the most important fixtures of the season will take place across a three-day span for Jose Luis Mendilibar, but Los Nervionenses are confident because the new coach has turned Sevilla Fc’s form around.
