🗞️ World Cup front pages: Lamine soaring, Brazil grounded | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal grabs the spotlight in the Sunday press. “Captain America,” according to As, whose advertising image covers the facade of a huge skyscraper in Atlanta, is the national team’s biggest icon. Marca focuses on the same thing when it sees Lamine starring in ads in Times Square.

Brazil fail to convince in their opener

Brazil drew 1-1 with Morocco and O Globo headlines that the debut “deepens the shadow of distrust.” Olé, more mocking, goes with “Vini with soda”: the Brazilian saved the Canarinha with a superb goal in a match in which Morocco, according to the Argentine paper, played with greater stature than the favorites.

L'Équipe wonders what position Olise and Dembélé should play against Senegal, which is exactly the question everyone in France wants answered given that it is a blessing for Deschamps.

Spain keep warming up

Sport and Mundo Deportivo back Spain from a Barça angle: Pedri is “flying” according to one, and Pau Cubarsí says they are the favorites according to the other.

In England, the Sunday Express leads with Tuchel and penalties: England are already practicing spot-kicks, just in case, and if anyone has experience in shootouts, it’s them.

Marca, away from World Cup news, devotes its front page to the Bernabéu’s “Legends with soul” — Pepe and the Real Madrid veterans came from behind against Inter in the Corazón Classic — and Pepe took the chance to say that he “will always be available for Madrid.” Alongside Mou? Madrid fans, of course, are dreaming again.
