1×1 of Spain against Croatia

First Simon

there is no defeat

Overall, he showed confidence, even though he had some problems with his feet. He saved a penalty and it ended up being a goal, but it was disallowed as Perisic got into the area early.

2

Carvajal

Imperial

He has finished the season establishing himself as the best back in the world and wants to own it in this Euro Cup. Invincible at the back and scored a goal by taking advantage of a good cross from Lamine in the middle of the area.

3

Le Normand

of course

He is the starting centre-back of this Spanish team and had a good game forming a duo with Nacho. He showed confidence all the time, without making any big mistakes.

4

Nacho

Headlines

He took advantage of the opportunity to start, winning the game in that sense against Laporte. His good game could mean he is out of action for the rest of the championship.

5

Cucurella

growing up

From less to more throughout the fight he didn’t give De la Fuente a single reason to bet on Grimaldo instead. He saved a goal between the sticks.

6

Fabian

Clearly

He has arrived at this Eurocup without being considered an undisputed starter, with Mikel Merino lurking, and he established himself with a truly excellent game, even scoring a goal. Match to remember yours.

7

Rodrigo H.

axis

Everything revolves around him in this Spanish team. This is key to controlling the spinal area and although he was replaced and ended up ‘touching’, it seems more typical of fatigue than an injury.

8

Peter

Suppressed

He didn’t play badly, but more was expected of him after his good performance against Northern Ireland. He was substituted after an hour of play, acting as a playmaker and supportive under pressure.

9

Lamine Yamal

Early

He became the youngest footballer to play in a Euro Cup match and did so with a fine performance, including an assist to Carvajal with a cross in the middle of the area. With the ball at his feet he released electricity.

10

Morata

Goal scorer

He couldn’t have started the Euro Cup in a better way by being responsible for scoring Spain’s first goal in a great action. His second half of the season was bad, but he wants to redeem himself in Germany.

Eleven

Nico Williams

shy

He doesn’t seem as active as other times and he can’t shine as much as he’d like, but at the same time it’s not a bad game either. The better ones will come and they will go further in the tournament.

12

Dani Olmo

Appear again

After missing the friendlies against Andorra and Northern Ireland due to discomfort, he had just over half an hour of play to reconnect with the sensations on the pitch.

13

Oyarzabal

Reference

He came to the place of the ‘played’ Morata and acted at the top, becoming the reference of the team in the last phase.

14

Mikel Merino

Oxygen

He entered the final stretch to give the spinal area air.

fifteen

Ferran Torres

Testimonials

He hardly has time.

16

Zubimendi

resource

He played the final minutes in place of the tired Rodrigo.
