Head coach hits out at ‘lies’ as suggestions of preferential treatment for young star overshadow preparations for England game in Madrid
From the London Palladium to Madrid’s Metropolitano, they’re all here. On Sunday night, the footballers who lifted the game’s biggest awards meet again three weeks later and on the field this time, dinner jackets but not a single man left behind. Harry Kane, the Ballon d’Or and Gerd Müller trophy winner. Unai Simón, holder of the Lev Yashin award. Luis de la Fuente, the coach of the year who on Thursday night announced that also joining them will be Lamine Yamal, the kid who lifted the Kopa award as the best young player for the third year running and said he would have preferred Pau Cubarsí to be standing there instead. And, yes, Cubarsí will be there too for the final Nations League group game.
