Philip - The king fires his team live in Berlin
Spanish King Felipe VI (56) is at the EM-Finale live at the Berlin Olympiastadion on Sunday. The Spanish and English national teams will compete for the European football crown from 21:00 hours. According to Spanish media reports, King Felipe not only has members of the Spanish Football Association and the Spanish government in attendance. He also allows a injured Spanish national player to be there when his teammates could crown themselves as European champions.
Sensational Loge Seating
According to a report from "AS Diario," King Felipe VI will sit in the box of UEFA-President Aleksander Ceferin (56) at the EM-Finale 2024 to follow the event. Besides Spanish cabinet members, Pedro Rocha (69), President of the Spanish Football Association, will be there. Rocha is currently under investigation for corruption. Piquantly, Rocha is the successor of Luis Rubiales (46), who resigned as Verbandspresident in April. Rubiales caused a worldwide scandal during the women's football World Cup victory ceremony in 2023 when he kissed Spanish national player Jennifer Hermoso (34) on the mouth.
Philip's Noble Gesture to Gavi
Under normal circumstances, Gavi (19), a Spanish national player, would be on the field with his teammates on Sunday. However, the young star from FC Barcelona is currently recovering from a severe knee injury, preventing him from participating in the European Championship in Germany. Instead, Gavi has time for other things: He was one of the guests at the award ceremony of the Princess of Girona Foundation (FPdGi) in Lloret de Mar on Wednesday. The ceremony was chaired by King Felipe VI and Princess Leonor (18).
Kingly Good Omen for Spain?
After the ceremony, where Queen Letizia (51) was also present, one saw King Felipe in conversation with Gavi. Both know each other: At the World Cup in Qatar 2022, Gavi presented Felipe with a Spanish jersey signed by the team. Now Felipe reciprocated and invited Gavi to the EM-Endspiel: "We'll see each other on Sunday at the final in Berlin. Don't miss it, because you're part of this team," so King Felipe. A good omen for Spain? King Felipe brought good luck to the Spanish team already during the group stage match against Italy on June 20 in Gelsenkirchen. Schalke won 1:0 against the defending European champion. And already then, Felipe promised to support his team if they reached the final - a King, a word.
Does Charles Come to Berlin?
It is still unclear whether Felipe will encounter his British counterpart, King Charles III (75), in Berlin on Sunday. It is certain, however, that Felipe will shake hands with the newly appointed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (61) on the tribune of the Berlin Olympiastadion. Does King Charles receive an unexpected honor? After the nerve-wracking semifinal victory of England against the Netherlands, King Charles made a personal statement on Instagram. Jokingly, he appealed to Gareth Southgate's team to secure the win this time without relying on late goals or a penalty shootout. His concern should be the collective heart rate and blood pressure of the British Empire.
