Spain Complete Perfect Euro 2024 Group Stage, Albania Crash Out

Spain’s midfielder #18 Martin Zubimendi, Albania’s midfielder #21 Kristjan Asllani, Spain’s midfielder #06 Mikel Merino, Spain’s forward #25 Fermin Lopez and Spain’s forward #22 Jesus Navas react at the end of the UEFA Euro 2024 Group B football match between Albania and Spain at the Duesseldorf Arena in Duesseldorf on June 24, 2024.

Despite their best efforts, Albania go home after picking up only one point and finishing bottom of a difficult section.It is a regression for them from their debut European Championship appearance in 2016 when they also went out in the first round but did manage to win a game. Coach Luis de la Fuente can now turn his full attention to a last-16 tie in Cologne on Sunday against an as-yet unknown third-place finisher.Centre-half Aymeric Laporte was the only Spain player to keep his place following the Italy game, with key midfielder Rodri suspended and everyone else given a breather.

Even Laporte was removed at half-time, replaced by Robin Le Normand, while Lamine Yamal and Alvaro Morata also appeared in the second half. The former Manchester City player timed his run perfectly and finished with precision too, his first-time effort going in off the far post.
