Sports Newspapers: 5 things you need to know this Wednesday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:

  1. Spain have qualified for the Euro 2024 final after beating France 2-1 in Germany on Tuesday. Kolo Muani gave France the lead early in the first half, but Lamine Yamal equalized for Spain few minutes later before
    Dani Olmo added another goal to send La Roja to the Euro 2024 final.
  2. England beat New Zealand by 23 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in a rain-curtailed second T20 at Hove to take a 2-0 series lead. After the game was reduced to nine overs a side because of a two-hour rain delay, Alice Capsey hit 28 from just 15 balls to help England reach 89-6.
  3. Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen powered to victory in a sprint finish on stage 10 of the Tour de France as Tadej Pogacar retained the leader’s yellow jersey. Philipsen, who was led out superbly by his Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate, world champion Mathieu van der Poel, comfortably held off Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay and Germany’s Pascal Ackermann, who finished second and third.
  4. Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz recovered from a slow start to beat Tommy Paul and set up another semi-final against Daniil Medvedev – a repeat of their meeting from last year. Medvedev, who defeated world number one Jannik Sinner, will be looking to avenge his defeat in the 2023 last-four match that Alcaraz won in straight sets on his way to taking the title.
  5. England will face the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-final tie on Wednesday night in Germany. The winner of the match will face Spain, who defeated France 2-1 in the semi-final on Tuesday, in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
