On a day marked by tributes to the late Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, both killed in a car accident the night before, football took center stage with impressive performances and emotional solidarity.

World champions Spain showed they mean business in Euro 2025, dismantling Portugal 5-0 in their Group B opener at Wankdorf Stadium. The match began with a minute’s silence for Jota, which was observed with touching respect by the near-30,000 crowd in Bern.
