It was easier to define Spain before and during tiki-taka but Luis Enrique's side lack sufficient identity for the fan in the street to form an opinion.

Alfredo Relaño gives his assessment of the Spanish national team following their exit from Euro 2020.

"Spain’s up-and-down journey in this tournament has only served to strengthen this group of players as they head into the quarter finals," writes Alfredo Relaño.

Alfredo Relaño looks back at the incredible eight-goal thriller between Spain and Croatia which saw La Roja win 5-3 to advance to the quarter finals of Euro 2020.

Luis Enrique said that he had the feeling that for Spain, the cork was about to pop. He was proved right as Spain walloped Slovakia, writes Alfredo Relaño.

"Lacking sharpness in one area and solidity in the other, that has been Spain’s problem so far," writes Alfredo Relaño.

Spain coach Luis Enrique complained about the pitch at La Cartuja where Spain drew nil-nil with Sweden in their opening match of Euro 2020 on Monday..

Luis Enrique’s team dominated Sweden in their opening game at Euro 2020, but failed to score and allowed Sweden a couple of very dangerous chances.

Teams that finish second in UEFA World Cup qualifying groups face an arduous route to Qatar and Sweden took the early advantage.
