The 3️⃣ standout players in Spain's final test before the EUROs
The 3️⃣ standout players in Spain's final test before the EUROs
Spain defeated Japan in the last friendly match ahead of the Women's Euro and we bring you the three stars of the night.
Claudia Pina brought justice
The first half was all red, but the Japanese goal was a cold shower. However, La Roja never stopped looking for it.
And in one of the many plays, it was Claudia Pina who achieved the effectiveness they were lacking. More than timely.
Tanaka opened the scoring with a great goal
Without a doubt, Japan surprised everyone at Butarque. La Roja started better, but the Japanese were the ones who opened the scoring.
And nothing more and nothing less with a great goal from Tanaka, who stopped it in the area, turned around and completed the sacred shout. Differential.
Vicky Lopez signed the final comeback
As the minutes ran and the victory seemed to become more difficult, a mistake by Japan served the comeback to Vicky Lopez.
Great news for her ahead of the Women's Euro. For forwards, there's no better fuel than a goal. We'll see if Tomé continues to give her more opportunities.

Barcelona could complete 4 transfer deals over the next week
Barcelona could complete 4 transfer deals over the next week La Liga champions Barcelona could push no fewer than four transfers, two in and two out, over the line over the week ahead. That's if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by. When it comes to arrivals, the closest is Copenhagen talent Roony Bardghji, expected to land in Catalunya's capital to undergo a medical and sign his contract imminently. Advertisement And following soon after could be the marquee addition of Barcelona's summer, in Nico Williams. The expectation is that the Blaugrana will deposit wide-man Nico's Athletic Club release clause in the very first days of July. Turning focus to those on the way out at the Camp Nou, Ansu Fati is set to be announced as a new Monaco player at any moment, primed to make the move to France on loan with an option to buy. And next in line to depart Hansi Flick's squad is Pablo Torre, for whom Barcelona have pencilled in a fresh round of talks with La Liga rivals RCD Mallorca this weekend. The 22-year-old has already agreed on the terms of a four-year contract at Son Moix. Conor Laird – GSFN

Nottingham Forest chase bargain La Liga defensive star
Premier League side Nottingham Forest could launch a summer transfer raid on La Liga to secure one of Mallorca's key stars. Forest secured a European qualification spot on the final day of the 2024/25 season as Nuno Espirito Santo's side slotted into the UEFA Conference League. Advertisement The extra games and demand placed on the schedule means Santo is looking for reinforcements to his squad. With Brazilian midfielder Danilo potentially moving on – amid interest from Lyon and Real Betis – the former Valencia boss is looking at the Spanish top-flight for options. As per the latest update from El Chiringuito, Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo is on his radar. Pablo Maffeo Mallorca contract, transfer latest Maffeo has been a regular for Mallorca since his 2022 transfer move from VfB Stuttgart and he is under contract in Palma until 2027. However, the financial lure of the Premier League is a strong factor for the 27-year-old, with no progress on a renewal at this stage. The report claims Forest are ready to table a €6m offer for Maffeo to cover both full back positions in behind Neco Williams and Ola Aina next season. Advertisement Forest have reportedly already agreed personal terms with Maffeo and his agent with the final barrier to a deal focused on Mallorca accepting their bid. €6m is slightly above what Mallorca value him at currently, but his value to the squad remains a clear factor in deciding whether or not to offload him to the City Ground this summer. Pablo Maffeo to Mallorca: Key stats on La Liga star Maffeo has developed a reputation as a tough tackling defender in La Liga and he is consistent in his role and rarely injured. Across the last four seasons at Mallorca, he has appeared in 30 or more of Mallorca's 38 league games on three occasions, as a key part of their backline.

Girona ‘very close' to signing of Getafe star
A member of the midfield ranks at Getafe is inching towards an incoming move to La Liga rivals Girona. That's according to Mundo Deportivo, citing journalist Ivan Quirós, who points towards Carles Aleñá as the player in question. Advertisement Former Barcelona talent Aleñá is for his part fresh off a season out on loan away from Getafe, with Deportivo Alavés. The 27-year-old, all told, racked up 25 league appearances during his time in Vitoria, chipping in with a pair of assists along the way. And Aleñá's performances, it would appear, proved enough to pique the attentions of a third Spanish top-flight club. As per MD, Girona have already kickstarted negotiations with their Getafe counterparts, over a summer deal for the midfielder. Aleñá is for his part keen to take his talents to the Estadi Montilivi, attracted by both the Girona project, and the prospect of being closer to home. Advertisement Though details remain to be ironed out between the parties, with just a year remaining on the player's contract at the Estadio Coliseum, a transfer is considered as highly likely to ultimately come to fruition.
