The strongest squad of Spain for Euro 2024 has been announced, with a mix of young and experienced talent. Let’s take a look at Spain’s strongest predicted lineup at Euro 2024:
Goalkeeper: Unai Simon
Unai Simon is expected to maintain his position as the starting goalkeeper due to his experience and trust from previous coaches. However, competition may arise from Alex Remiro of Real Sociedad and David Raya of Arsenal.
Defenders: Cucurella, Laporte, Normand, Carvajal
Spain typically employs a 4-3-3 formation with an emphasis on attacking full-backs. With Dani Carvajal and Marc Cucurella in the squad, coach Luis de la Fuente has a pair of wing-backs capable of effective offensive contributions. Laporte and Normand form a notable central defensive partnership, providing stability and solid ball-handling skills.
Midfielders: Pedri, Rodri, Ruiz
Rodri is a crucial figure in Spain’s midfield setup, providing stability as the deepest-lying midfielder. He is likely to be accompanied by Pedri and Fabian Ruiz, who excel in ball retention and distribution, as well as providing creativity and long-range shooting options.
Forwards: Williams, Morata, Torres
Alvaro Morata is expected to lead the forward line once again after an impressive season with Atletico Madrid. Alongside Morata, Nico Williams offers pace and trickery, while the final spot in the attack could be contested by Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
Here’s the provisional squad list for Spain for Euro 2024:
Goalkeepers: Unai Simon, Alex Remiro, David Raya.
Defenders: Jesus Navas, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Nacho Fernandez, Dani Vivian, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Grimaldo, Marc Cucurella.
Midfielders: Martin Zubimendi, Rodri Hernandez, Mikel Merino, Fabian Ruiz, Pedri, Marcos Llorente, Fermin Lopez, Aleix Garcia, Alex Baena.
Forwards: Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Ayoze Perez, Alvaro Morata, Joselu Mato, Mikel Oyarzabal.
