From making world-class saves to panicking with the ball at your feet. Sometimes he takes too many risks, but what a pair of hands he pulls out. He couldn’t do anything about the goal.
twenty

Daniel Carvajal
tired
It was noted that he came off the touch because he lacked freshness in plays with the ball. Defensively he was serious and finished a good game.
18

Jordi Alba
shining
Game with capital letters. In defense and in attack, providing an assist to Morata’s goal. He knows when to step up and on the ball he provides a lot of value from the band. The choice is another.
5

Sergio Busquets
Marked
They didn’t let him breathe. He handled the ball in difficult conditions but always understood what he was doing. A yellow card can condition the game, but it doesn’t.
16

Rodri
plugged in
After the test against Costa Rica, another important test came to measure his level as a center back against a great player and he more than fulfilled it. Very dedicated, wins battles and is dependable. He only suffered through a few dances with Musiala.
24

Aymeric Laporte
Amazing
He released the ball wonderfully and his presence was a breath of calm for the whole team. He is strong.
9

Gavi
dull
Also with the rival who is very high, and there he has less resources than his teammates. Of course, in work and wear, no one can beat him. One is played with a ticket just to start the game. He was replaced.
26

Peter
Special
This is the odd note within a team where there is no shortage of talent. He has the ability to make plays out of nowhere and pampers the ball like few others. Even with less space than before it is important.
10

Marco Asensio
Trequartist
As much as Luis Enrique insists that he is not a fake ‘9’, he is not fooling us. It falls between the lines and gives continuity to possessions, but does not reach the end of plays.
Eleven

Ferran Torres
hesitant
He has no self-confidence. He had some good chances to get a quick shot but the defense came through. He left replaced
twenty-one

Daniel Olmo
infallible
Great fight. He drove the German defense crazy and especially Kehrer. He went outside, crossed inside, did damage between the lines and crashed into everything and more. The stick kept him from scoring in the first half. Important.
14

Alejandro Balde
resource
He only got in because Jordi Alba’s legs were heavy. He had time for almost nothing.
8

Coke
strangled
He came in when Spain started having bad weather. He couldn’t contribute what was required of him, which was packaging the middle of the field with the ball.
7

alvaro morata
murderer
At first he nailed it. He stood up magnificently and played it like the best ‘9’. Then, as usual, a lot of desire but not much head.
12

Nico Williams
Nothing
The Spanish winger had a terrible game. He tried to throw the power but he didn’t make a play.
