On Friday, July 5, Spain advanced to the semi-finals of Euro 2024 with a goal from Mikel Merino in the 119th minute, in extra time, and Germany was eliminated from the tournament. Their next opponent will be the winner of the match between Portugal and France.

The tie that reigned on the scoreboard, the result of Dani Olmo’s opening goal in the 51st minute and Florian Wirtz’s last in the 87th minute, changed with the leap and header of Mikel Merino, Spain’s hero in qualifying Luis de la Fuente’s team for the sixth semi-final in its history in the European Championships.

In added time, Carvajal received his second yellow card and was sent off, although he was already going to miss the semi-finals.

Germany’s defeat means the retirement of German Toni Kroos.

A close game that went into overtime

Spain emerged unscathed from the most difficult match of the tournament and eliminated the host country, but it came at a high price in the semi-finals due to injuries and suspensions.

Football destiny brought these two teams together in the quarterfinals of the European Championship. It was a football duel with similarities: brave, intense teams, with hierarchy in the midfield and potential on the wings, who punish their opponents when they have space.

Spain lacked the skill to close out the match, exposed without the ball, punished in the 89th minute, when Cucurella’s umpteenth missed jump following a cross into the area was won by Kimmich and Wirtz found the quality to hook a shot off the bounce that kissed the woodwork before rewarding the effort in the net. Spain had to look for the feat in extra time and achieved it with a goal towards the end of this extra time.

Spanish Senate vetoes amnesty law that could be definitively approved by Congress

On Tuesday, the Spanish Senate vetoed the controversial amnesty law for those convicted, prosecuted and investigated in connection with the illegal attempt at independence of the region of Catalonia, which might be definitively approved by Congress.

The upper house thus rejected, with an absolute majority of the conservative opposition of the Popular Party (PP) and the extreme right of Vox (149 votes), the legislative proposal, promoted by the Socialist Party (PSOE), which heads the nation’s government, and also supported by small left-wing parties and Basque and Catalan nationalists and independentists (113 votes), according to EFE.

However, Congress already approved the law last March and sent it to the Senate to continue the parliamentary process, and now it will return to the lower house for a decision on the veto.

The majority in Congress formed by the left-wing coalition government and the nationalist and pro-independence forces is expected to lift the veto and the law will come into force within a few weeks. The interpretation and application of the law will be up to the judges.

The entry into force of the ban would bring closer the possible return to Spain of former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, who fled in 2017 to avoid action by Spanish justice for his role in the illegal Catalan independence process of that year.

Now, elected as a deputy in last Sunday’s regional elections, he aspires to be Catalan president once more, although his party (Junts) came in second with 35 deputies, behind the socialists, with 42, in a Catalan chamber of 135.
