A country that were once the dominant force in Europe, looking to get back to their best. Spain, ranked 8th in the world, will look to Luis de la Fuente to lead them back to European glory.

Alejandro Grimaldo is set to have a great tournament after an incredible season at Bayer Leverkusen, and should definitely be a player to look out for.

Despite being in a tough group alongside Croatia, Italy and Albania, you would expect Spain to get out of the group, with such a strong group of players.

GROUP FIXTURES

Saturday 15th June: Spain vs Croatia (17:00 BST) Thursday 20th June: Spain vs Italy (20:00 BST) Monday 24th June: Albania vs Spain (20:00 BST)

PLAYER TO WATCH

Whilst a lot of pressure will be on Manchester City midfielder Rodri to control games, it looks like the youngsters will dominate for La Roja this year, with all eyes on Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, who makes the squad at just 16 years old. His versatility of being able to play in midfield or the frontline gives him the opportunity to shine this summer.

PREDICTION

Despite missing a couple of their big name players like Gavi, I see Spain getting out of the group quite easily and making it as far as the semi-finals.
