During the group stage of Euro 2024, we have learned a lot about the Spanish national team. Pedri, Rodri, and Fabian Ruiz have formed a solid midfield trio, with Martin Zubimendi, Dani Olmo, and Mikel Merino starting in the last match against Albania but likely to revert to the bench for the upcoming game.
As we head into the knockout stages, it is crucial for Spain to field their strongest starting lineup whenever possible. Despite some impressive performances from bench players, we can expect the regular starters from the Italy/Croatia game to return to the team.
The Spanish team has been in fine defensive form, conceding only one goal in their last five matches and not being held scoreless since their 1-0 loss to Colombia in March. They are hitting peak form at the right time and will look to continue their strong run in the upcoming match against Georgia.
In attack, Alvaro Morata is expected to lead the line for Spain as they aim to advance further in the competition. The Spanish fans will be hoping for another solid performance from their team as they look to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
Overall, Spain has shown great resilience and determination in the group stage, and they will need to maintain that level of performance if they are to go all the way in Euro 2024. Their next match against Georgia will be a tough test, but if they can continue their solid defensive displays and clinical attacking play, they have a good chance of progressing to the next round. Stay tuned for more updates on Spain’s Euro 2024 campaign.
