Alfredo Relaño looks ahead to Spain's meeting with Croatia and Luka Modric in the last 16 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.

Spain are in trouble of not making it past the group stage at Euro 2020, and Rafael van der Vaart is already sounding the death knell, writes Alfredo Relaño.

With no Real Madrid players in the Spain squad, madridistas have been following players in other teams at Euro 2020 - especially Bale and Hazard.

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

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.

Spain play their opening game, against Sweden, at Euro 2020, on Monday 14 June 2021. Alfredo Relaño takes a look at the team and their chances.
