Argentine President Javier Milei returned to Spain on Friday, just weeks after his previous visit to Madrid worsened a diplomatic crisis engulfing the long-standing allies. Milei’s latest trip to Spain, like his three-day stay in May, did not include any plans for meetings with senior Spanish officials. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said Milei's visit was private, and the Argentine president's office did not list the trip as an official engagement. However, the self-described anarcho-capitalist did meet with Madrid’s powerful right-wing regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who...

Among the crowd, Arthur Franzoli, a French expatriate, shares his thoughts. "Through sports, all differences like politics and such come to an end", he assures.

By Ewan Murray Spain booked their spot in the last 16 of Euro 2024 with a dominant 1-0 win over Italy on Thursday evening. Despite racking up an impressive amount of chances, it was an unfortunate own goal from Italy's Riccardo Calafiori that separated the two sides. The result means Spain are now guaranteed to top Group B after hammering Croatia in their opener. Spain finish up the group stages against Albania next Monday, with Italy taking on Croatia in their third and potentially final match of Euro 2024. How the game unfoldedIt took a little over a minute for Spain to deliver the first pun...

Sun-worshippers have another reason to celebrate today, as solar power is set to peak at a fifth of the world’s electricity for an hour. Analysing midday highs on 21 June, clean energy think tank Ember says the renewable will make up 20 per cent of the global power mix, up from 16 per cent last year. Global solar generation typically performs best in June due to longer summer days in the northern hemisphere, where around 89 per cent of the world’s solar panels are installed. “At 20 per cent share, solar is now a serious global electricity source,” says Kostantsa Rangelova, electricity analyst ...

By Jamie Spencer Spain against Italy was immediately billed as one of the heavyweight clashes of Euro 2024 when the group stage draw took place last December, a repeat of the semi-final three years ago. The Spanish came into the game after a statement win over Croatia in the first game. Italy were also victorious on matchday one, albeit given a harder task by Albania after initially going behind. Spain carried that momentum and were utterly dominant. But it took a fortuitous and slightly comical second half own goal from Riccardo Calafiori to actually get them the win. Not the kind of history ...

There’s good news for wildlife as one of Europe’s key carnivores bounces back from “near extinction”. Until recently, the Iberian lynx had been on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) endangered list. The population of the medium-sized wildcat, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, had been declining because of overhunting, poaching and loss of suitable habitats. Their main prey, the European rabbit, is also becoming more scarce due to diseases like myxomatosis. Now, however, the IUCN has downgraded the status of the Iberian lynx after conservation effor...

Spain's Civil Guard, in collaboration with Europol and the FBI, has dismantled one of the largest media networks linked to the so-called Islamic State. According to Europol, servers were taken down in Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, and Iceland, with Spanish authorities arresting nine people.

The operation is part of judicial and law enfor...

By Ewan Murray Not many nations can claim to be more passionate about football than Spain. The three-time European champions and 2010 World Cup winners lay claim to two of the most iconic club sides in world football - Barcelona and Real Madrid - with Spain a breeding ground for the world's best talents.

During that period, their squad of superstars proved invincible. Here are Spain's 25 greatest players ranked, primarily focusing o...
