Luis de la Fuente’s Spanish team is already prepared to travel to Germany and compete in Euro 2024. The coach gave a list of 29 players called up and on June 7 he decided on the 26 who will finally travel to the European championship.
After warming up in two friendlies against Andorra and Northern Ireland, “La Roja” is already heading towards the Euro Cup. These are the players who will compete in a European Championship for the first time in their football career.
Although it may seem like a lie, neither David Raya, current Arsenal goalkeeper, nor Álex Remiro, Real Sociedad goalkeeper, have traveled to the Euro Cup. In the previous edition, four years ago, they accompanied Unai Simón, David De Gea along with Robert Sánchez.
Le Normand and Viviann have been called up for the first time in a European Championship. Two center backs from two Basque teams such as Athletic Club and Real Sociedad, and who will face EURO 2024, as possibly the most important championship of their career, so far, at the national team level.
The left side will be made up of two newcomers, Grimaldo and Cucurella. Spain was used to seeing both Jordi Alba and Gayá and in this Euro Cup the Spanish team will show two new faces on the left lane.
Nacho and Carvajal are those players who have always had minutes with Real Madrid and who have never traveled to a European Championship. On the other hand, to a world cup, yes. Now, Nacho travels to Germany with the possibility of being one of the starting center backs thanks to his great season with his club. Meanwhile, Carvajal aspires to be the starting right back.
The midfield will have two Txuri-Urdines such as Mikel Merino and Zubimendi, who together with Le Normand, Oyarzabal and Álex Remiro will represent Real Sociedad in Europe with the Spanish national team shirt.
After his great season at Villarreal and being the top assistant of the current EA Sports La Liga season, Álex Baena will travel to Germany to contribute his two cents to De la Fuente’s team.
FC Barcelona has us accustomed to these things. Years ago it happened with Xavi, Iniesta, Piqué and Sergio Busquets, later we saw it again with Ansu Fati, Pedri, Gavi and Baldé and now we find the youngest case with a promising Lamine Yamal and Fermín, who will be part of the national team Spanish in the Euro Cup.
The Athletic Club de Bilbao winger will be part of “La Roja” being one of the fundamental pillars in attack. It is very likely that the offensive and starting left lane will be his. The team has high expectations for Nico.
The last minute surprise was Ayoze Pérez who, being his first call-up with the Spanish team, is traveling to the Euro Cup, after having a great end to the season with Betis Balompié.
The current Real Madrid forward on loan from RCD Espanyol will travel to his first European Championship after being key to the whites’ victory in the Champions League. Although Morata may be the starting forward, Joselu faces a promising Euro Cup.
