The Sky Sports writers pick out some of the key talking points from Saturday's action at Euro 2024 as Spain and Switzerland secure big wins.
Yamal helps Spain's style evolveSpain's meeting with Croatia ended a run of 136 competitive fixtures in which they have had more possession than their opponents, dating back 16 years to their win over Germany in the final of Euro 2008.

Declan Olley 'Dark horses' Hungary now left with little room for manoeuvre Hungary were many people's dark horses for the Euros after going through their qualifying campaign unbeaten, but following the chastening 3-1 loss to Switzerland in Cologne, Marco Rossi's side are now in danger of not even making it out of a tough-looking Group A.
