The North Africans would be the opponent if Spain comes second, and the Balkans if Luis Enrique’s bloc finishes first
Morocco or Croatia. These are Spain’s possible opponents if La Roja qualifies for the round of 16. Barring a catastrophe, Luis Enrique’s team will be in the next round of competition. If they finish in first place they will face second in Group F, this is a Croatia that is experiencing the end of an excellent generation and who already knocked them out in extra time at Euro 2020. If they qualify second, the rival will be the North African team, with whom they already met at the World Cup in Russia: it happened in the group stage and the match ended in a draw (2-2).
Piece by piece. If it ends up as the first group, Spain’s roadmap would be as follows. First of all Croatia. The meeting is Monday at 4 p.m. If it goes through to the next round, in the quarter-finals, as long as the logic is fulfilled, Brazil will be the opponent. And already in the semifinals everything is reminiscent of Argentina, although it could also be the Netherlands.
If, on the other hand, they finish second in Group E, La Roja will face a Morocco that has broken predictions, leaving Belgium and Croatia behind. The meeting is on Tuesday, also at four o’clock in the afternoon. From there, the possible opponent in the quarter-finals would be Portugal and in the semi-finals France or England.
