The UEFA Nations League dominated the European football calendar this week, with a number of Matchday 5 fixtures taking place on November 12 and 13, while Valencia began their Copa del Rey campaign on November 10.
England booked their place in the quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over Croatia at Wembley Stadium, with Harry Kane scoring the winner on the night he became his country's most-capped player with 126 appearances, after Morgan Rogers had given the hosts an early lead before the visitors levelled.
Meanwhile, Italy came from behind to beat France 3-1 at San Siro, with Francesco Pio Esposito scoring twice to send his side top of their group and inflict Zinedine Zidane's first defeat as Les Bleus coach. The Netherlands thrashed Greece 7-0 to remain unbeaten under new coach Xavi, with Tijani Reijnders scoring a hat-trick, while Spain beat the Czech Republic 2-0 to maintain their perfect record and John McGinn's double earned Scotland a 2-1 win over North Macedonia.

England vs. Croatia at Wembley Stadium tops attendance charts as San Siro hosts Italy vs. France
England's win over Croatia attracted 80,484 fans to Wembley, the biggest crowd in Europe this week and a stark contrast to the 6,342 who watched the reverse fixture in Rijeka last month. While Kane was the hero of the day, Ben White remained the villain in the eyes of some England supporters, with the Arsenal defender booed by sections of the home crowd during his appearance.
Italy's meeting with France ranked second, drawing 71,452 to San Siro, although that was still below the 77,691 who attended the Milan derby there on October 31. The Netherlands attracted 51,221 to the Johan Cruyff Arena for their rout of Greece, while Scotland's win over North Macedonia drew 41,585 to Hampden Park.
The most unexpected entry was Valencia's rout of UE Tavernes in the Copa del Rey, with the 32,155 at Mestalla making it the only club fixture on the list. The amateur side were forced to move the fixture to Mestalla after their home ground failed to meet the required standards, making La Liga club the nominal visitors at their own stadium for only the second time in their history.
Albania's win over Finland, which avenged their defeat in Helsinki last month, attracted 20,942 to the Air Albania Stadium, where tickets were reportedly sold out beforehand. Turkiye, who had lost their opening four group games, were beaten by Belgium in front of 19,697 at Gursel Aksel Stadium, while Czech Republic versus Spain completed the list with 18,193 at the epet ARENA.
