🗞️ The front pages: one king bows out as another begins his reign

🗞️ The front pages: one king bows out as another begins his reign Tuesday’s front pages are in a party mood: one celebration is about to end, while the other has only just begun. Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal take centre stage.   Messi plays his final match for Argentina tonight (01:00) against Benin, and Olé turns it into a collective outpouring of tears with “Time to cry, my love”. Spain visit a Croatia side still hurting from their 7-0 defeat to England, and Marca , Sport and Mundo Deportivo are pinning their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals on Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí. Mundo Deportivo, meanwhile, leads today with Deco’s efforts to tie down Barcelona’s key players. Raphinha, Bernal and Espart are next in line to renew their contracts. The neighbouring national teams have already done their job: France turned a 1-0 deficit against Belgium into a 4-1 lead in fourteen minutes, with a brace from Olise, while Italy saw off Turkey 3-1 with goals from Scamacca, Calafiori and Pio Esposito. In England, the Daily Star has Kane one match away from equalling Peter Shilton’s 125 appearances, while Tuchel holds him up as a role model. In Portugal, the action extends beyond the pitch. O Jogo reports that the relationship between Cristiano and Jorge Jesus has broken down. And we finish with Estadio Deportivo and Superdeporte,  featuring Ceballos, who would trade a Madrid trophy for one with Betis, and Gayà receiving tributes in Valencia.
