Spain Form

Spain won Euro 2024 and took that form to the Nations League where they won five straight matches to finish top of Group 4.

Luis de la Fuente’s side won all three home games, defeating Denmark 1-0, Serbia 3-0 and Switzerland 3-2 thanks to Bryan Zaragoza’s added time penalty.

Nico Williams scored early in the quarter-final first leg in the Netherlands. They were 2-1 down late on when the Dutch side were reduced to 10 men, Mikel Merino equalising in added time.
