Er ist wieder da!
Nach der erfolgreichen Europameisterschaft im vergangenen Jahr sind die Fans gespannt, ob Spanien als amtierender Titelträger als erstes Team den Titel in der Nations League verteidigen kann.
Im Halbfinale wartet Frankreich, ein Team, das die Furia Roja bereits im vergangenen Jahr bei der EM ebenfalls im Halbfinale mit 2:1 nach Hause schicken konnte. Das erneute Aufeinandertreffen findet am 5. Juni (21 Uhr, hier im Liveticker) in Stuttgart statt.
Für den Knaller in der Nations League hat Trainer Luis de la Fuente (63) tief in die Trickkiste gegriffen. Denn im Mittelfeld gibt es einen prominenten Rückkehrer: Isco (33) von Betis Sevilla. Der Spanier, der 2023 kurz vor einem Wechsel zum 1. FC Union Berlin stand, feiert nach sechs Jahren sein Comeback in der spanischen Nationalmannschaft.
Isco erzielte bislang 12 Tore in 38 Länderspielen für Spanien
<!–>
Sein letztes Spiel bestritt Isco, der mit Real fünfmal die Champions League gewann, im Juni 2019 in einem Qualifikationsspiel für die EM 2020 gegen Schweden. In der aktuellen Saison führte Isco Betis als bester Torschütze mit neun Toren in 22 Spielen auf den sechsten Tabellenplatz.
[–>Luis de la Fuente erklärt: „Dieser Kader wurde aufgestellt, um alle möglichen Szenarien abzudecken. Spieler wie Isco, Fermín oder Pedri wurden dafür in Betracht gezogen – das entscheidende Kriterium war nie das Alter oder die bisherige Reputation.“
Der Coach weiter: „Jetzt ist der richtige Zeitpunkt, um Isco einzubinden und von seinen Qualitäten zu profitieren. Es ist der Moment, den wir für passend halten.“

Tor: David Raya (FC Arsenal), Unai Simon (Athletic Bilbao), Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad)

‘Game over’: How Connor McDavid rescued the Oilers with one of his best-ever moments
DALLAS – The Edmonton Oilers were getting caved in, with their three-goal lead down to one and on the verge of evaporating completely as the Dallas Stars made a frenetic push in the second period. Like a sweater with a loose thread, the Oilers seemed as though they could unravel at any moment.All it took was for the puck to careen to center ice, into the hands of perhaps the fastest and most electrifying player the sport has ever seen, to swing momentum back in the Oilers’ favor.AdvertisementEnter Connor McDavid. He turned the tide for the Oilers on Thursday by scoring a scintillating goal that stood as the winner in a 6-3 victory to close out the Western Conference final in five games.

Shields promoter insists Marshall the reason rematch ‘may not happen’
Savannah Marshall is responsible for jeopardising a potential rematch with Claressa Shields, insists promoter Dmitry Salita.Marshall told Sky Sports: "I'm starting to come to terms with maybe it's never going to happen through her not wanting it." But Salita, who represents Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and multi-weight world professional world champion, blamed Marshall for the failure to make a second fight between the two rivals."Claressa flew thousands of miles to the UK and decisively beat Savannah in her own backyard. Since then, we've offered Savannah significantly more money than she earned the first time for a rematch this year," Salita told Sky Sports."The only reason the rematch 'may never happen' is 100 percent on Savannah." He added: "Claressa Shields has nothing left to prove. She is the 'GWOAT' - the greatest woman boxer of all time - and […]
