At half-time of last year’s European Championship final against England, Spain manager Luis de la Fuente had a simple message for his players. “Let’s be ourselves,” he told his team, in a speech filmed by Amazon’s documentary-makers.

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Martin Zubimendi as the Gunners plot a bid for Noni Madueke. Zubimendi joins Arsenal from Real Sociedad on a five-year contract. His arrival is expected to be followed by the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford as part of a midfield overhaul following the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey.

Martin: Zubimendi is going to be the number six that most thought Rice would be before Arteta saw him as a number eight. Hopefully he frees Martin Odegaard up as well. Sam: It's a very good signing and a crucial one as well.
