Selfie with Ronaldo
The star of the Portuguese national team, one of the best footballers in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, has become the target of fans. Cristiano is no stranger to annoying fans, but what happened during the match against Turkey is nonsense: during the match, up to four fans ran onto the pitch to take photos with their idol. Two achieved their goal, but two were left with nothing.
The first daredevil was a boy who ran up to Ronaldo and asked for a selfie. Cristiano smiled and did not refuse. However, the guards caught the boy and took him away. The second fan was much less courteous: he hugged the Portuguese by the neck and clung to him. And here Ronaldo no longer hid his indignation. Before the end of the meeting, two more similar incidents occurred, but the security service, unexpectedly for everyone, remembered why they had been paid and fulfilled their obligations. The curious thing is that after the game there were two more attempts to break through to Cristiano.

– This is worrying. Today it was fortunate that people’s intentions were good. We all love the fans, but we understand that bad things can happen. Supporters must not put players at risk, says Portugal coach Roberto Martinez.
Top Model – Euro Decoration
The top model, former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll, who became popular all over the planet after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, showed her beauty at the Euro Cup. Fortunately, the girl did not have to go anywhere: she was born in Frankfurt am Main and lives in Germany.
Just like two years ago in Qatar, not everyone is thrilled with the attractive Croatian’s revealing outfits. Then, Knoll had a fight with one of the German presenters, who interviewed her and advised Ivana to wear a jacket instead of walking around in a bikini. We didn’t have to wait long to find out the top model’s reaction.

– The most unprofessional television of all time. Let them teach their presenters the culture of communication and never invite me to an interview again. I don’t know who this woman is. But if I looked like her, I wouldn’t take off my jacket either,” the Croatian reacted excitedly.
We can do without Daku
Rubin Kazan and Albanian national team player Mirlind Daku scored with a minus sign in the Euro Cup. After the 2-2 draw with Croatia, Daku approached the podium with the Eagles fans and began shouting insults at Serbs and Macedonians through a megaphone.
Representatives of the Serbian Football Union reacted immediately: the federation stressed that if UEFA does not strictly punish Daka, the Balkan team could withdraw from the tournament.
– It is outrageous. We will demand the toughest sanctions from UEFA, even if Serbia refuses to continue participating in the tournament. This is a really big scandal and we do not want it to happen again,” said Jovan Šurbatović, Secretary General of the Serbian Football Union.
Mirlind apologized for what happened. The referees’ verdict was lenient: the striker received only a two-match suspension. Perhaps UEFA’s decision was influenced by the words of the player’s agent, who said that Daku had gone to the stands out of emotion and that he should not be punished for it. It all sounded ridiculous, as the striker himself took a megaphone and approached the crowd.
Rubin also did not stay away from the scandal. The Kazan club will apply disciplinary and financial sanctions to Dak after the player returns to the team from the Euro Cup. But the question arises: does our football even need players like that? And what will Daku himself do the next time he gets excited? Or let him throw his hooligan emotions somewhere far from Russia. Surely Rubin has already thought about this.
By the way, there are three Serbians playing for Burgundy: Uros Drezgic, Nikola Cumic and Bogdan Jocic. I wonder what Daku will say to them and how they will continue to play for the same club.
Change your mask, Kilian
At the beginning of the Euro Cup, one of the favorites of the tournament, France, almost lost the main star of the competition: the newcomer to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé. The striker broke his nose in the match against Austria after a collision in the outside area with one of the rivals.
Mbappé spent a day in hospital, after which he returned to his team. However, he can only play with a mask. Kilian presented it at one of the training sessions: it was tricolour, like the French flag. However, UEFA rules state that any medical equipment used in a match must be of a single colour, with no team identification.

How long Mbappé will play with a mask is a big question. One thing is certain: in the remaining matches of the Euro Cup, Kylian will not be able to do without it (regardless of color).
– Overall, everything is fine with Mbappé. Everything is going as it should, he is recovering from the blow. There is a bruise that is getting smaller every day. “Kilian is getting used to the mask, he is changing his image,” said the French national team manager Didier Deschamps.
After 23.00 – go home
The Spanish team could face a fine for violating German laws on child labor.
It is the rising star of world football, Barcelona midfielder Lamine Yamal, 16, who became the youngest player in the history of the European Championship when he came on to the pitch against Croatia.

According to German law, minors under 18 cannot work after 8:00 p.m., with the exception of athletes, who can work until 11:00 p.m. In fact, the Spanish broke the law when Yamal played late against Italy last week: Lamin and his teammates left the Gelsenkirchen stadium around midnight local time.
Spain is unlikely to face serious sanctions, but the country’s football federation will probably have to pay a fine of 30 thousand euros. By the way, Yamal recently admitted that he brought his schoolwork to the European Championship, because the school year in his homeland is still ongoing.
– I took my homework to Germany, since I am studying the fourth year of ESO (Compulsory secondary education in Spain. – Note “RG”). I will also have online classes. I hope the teacher is not angry with me,” Yamal said.
For his part, the coach of the Spanish team, Luis de la Fuente, highlighted that Yamal is incredibly mature for his age: “His modesty is amazing. It’s better for him to keep his feet on the ground. He will have a hard time. times, but he must maintain balance. I’m sure Lamin will cope with everything, the boy is still in his childhood.”
