The two sisters sisters, Daphne and Melanie, 34, are both partners to La Roja players.

While Daphne Canizares is married to Dani CarvajalInstagram / daphnecanizaresThe former is married to Real Madrid hero Dani Carvajal, while Melanie is with Joselu, who recently departed for Qatar Stars League club Al-Gharafa.
Incredibly, Joselu tied the knot with Melanie in 2016.
In 2022, Daphne and Carvajal said their ‘I do’s’ which makes the Spain duo brothers-in-law.
Unsurprisingly, Melanie is a model. But she formerly worked as a flight attendant.
Daphne runs Blue Weddings, which specialises in organising weddings and social events.
On Instagram it’s Daphne who is the most popular – with a staggering 266,000 followers.
Melanie boats 56,000 followers, but her life is equally as glam.
However, it’s their other halves that have cemented their names in folklore for Real Madrid.
While on-loan from Espanyol, Joselu bagged a brace late on to defeat Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final.
Then, in the final, it was Carvajal who was the hero – scoring the winner after 74 minutes to beat Borussia Dortmund in the final.
Should Spain beat England in Sunday’s showpiece, it would be a huge night for the family.
The Spanish have been one of the best teams of the tournament.
Thanks to teen sensation Lamine Yamal and brilliant winger Nico Williams, Luis de la Fuente’s side have been a breath of fresh air.
The Canizares twins will certainly be hopeful they’re on fire on Sunday.
Spain Euro 2024 guide
SPAIN’S team may not be a patch on the one that dominated world football 15 years ago - which had superstars coming out of its ears.
But they still topped a qualifying group consisting of Scotland and Erling Haaland’s Norway by winning nine out of ten games.
MANAGER: Luis de la Fuente
Surprise choice as coach but won the Under-21 Euros in 2019 and an Olympic silver medal a year later.
KEY MAN: Rodri
Rodri is arguably the greatest holding midfielder the Premier League has ever seen. But will he have enough left in the tank after complaints of tiredness at Man City?
How Spain attack
Spain will be a different side to that which we have seen in recent years, with the 4-3-3 replaced by a more structured 4-2-3-1 formation.
The full-backs, attacking midfielders and wingers are all ready to push forward while Rodri and Fabian Ruiz sit deep in the quarterback role.
How Spain defend
Spain’s two deep midfielders allow the rest of the team to push forward and press high up the pitch.
Their focus will be on either dispossessing the opposition defence or forcing opponents to play long by cutting off the short pass option.
