Spain, the reigning European champions, have secured their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2024 after a dominant performance against Italy. Despite having the luxury of resting key players for their final group game against Albania, coach Luis de la Fuente is determined to maintain the momentum his team has built up.
De la Fuente has been vocal in his praise for his squad, describing them as the best in the tournament, if not the world. The evidence so far supports his claim. Spain have looked the most impressive team on display, showcasing their slick passing, attacking flair, and defensive solidity.
Teenager Lamine Yamal, winger Nico Williams, and 21-year-old Pedri have all produced dazzling displays, while experienced players like Alvaro Morata, Dani Carvajal, and Rodri provide invaluable tournament experience.
However, De la Fuente faces a dilemma for the Albania game. While resting key players could disrupt their rhythm and sharpness, he is also forced to make at least one change due to Rodri's suspension.
Albania, on the other hand, will be desperate for a win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout phase alive. They secured a last-gasp draw against Croatia in their previous match, and their Brazilian coach Sylvinho has instilled a sense of belief in his squad.
Despite Spain's dominance, Albania will be no pushovers. They have shown resilience and determination in their previous matches, and they will be eager to make a statement against the tournament favorites.
