Image source, Getty ImagesWe will start off with a look at today's national newspapers, the vast majority of which have taken their lead from John Stones' thoughtful interview in yesterday's England news conference.
As BBC Sport reported, the Manchester City defender said that the Three Lions' dramatic last-16 comeback win against Slovakia could prove an "emotional turning point" in their bid for Euro 2024 glory.
Stones, speaking as England prepared for Saturday's quarter-final against Switzerland, said success in that game, when he admitted thinking he and his team-mates were on their way home, will "change a lot of things".
"It shows that unity, and togetherness, as a team," said the 30-year-old defender, referring to Jude Bellingham's last-gasp equaliser and subsequent 2-1 win after extra-time.
"When you have done those things, you can believe you can do it better, and when it gets tough you can always recap to these moments."
