The Spanish national team qualified for the semi-finals of the European Championship after defeating Switzerland in a penalty shootout. A match in which Luis Enrique's team did not show the theoretical superiority against the Swiss team until the rival was left with ten players. The roja lacked the aim to finish off the match in extra time and played it from eleven meters. The mistakes of Busquets and Rodri was not too catastrophic, because Unai Simon made an exhibition under the posts and saved, consecutively, the shots of Schaer, Akanji and Vargas. Oyarzabal scored the decisive penalty. Luis Enrique raised his fists in victory, relieved after a tie that had almost run aground.

UEFA has decided not to take any action against Manuel Neuer, Germany's captain, who wore a rainbow armband in support of the LGTBI community against France and Portugal. Instead, this Tuesday the organising body of the competition has taken a further step backwards by banning the lighting of the Allianz Arena with the colours of this flag. This is the first of the 'Three Summary points' of the 11th day of the Euro.

UEFA reminded the teams taking part in the European Championship that "sponsors are essential for the tournament to take place". The message came after several players withdrew bottles of soft drinks and beer during press conferences. The organising body linked sponsorship activities "to the development of football throughout Europe, including for young people and women".
