Spain, in addition to having won the world championship in 2010, together with Germany has the record for the number of European Championships won. There are three titles on the board at continental level: those of 1964, 2008 and 2012. In 1984, the Iberian national team placed second. Spain then won the 2022-2023 UEFA Nations League. Luis De la Fuente makes his European debut at the age of 63. He arrived in Germany with a couple of doubts: one in defence, but Laporte is out of form and so Nacho will play alongside Le Normand today with Croatia. The other behind the strikers: Dani Olmo arrived bruised but recovered and is playing with Pedri, short of minutes after a season plagued by injuries. His star will be the 16-year-old Lamine Yama: “« He is a special footballer, he has the talent of the chosen ones, he was touched by the wand of God “.
