In the early hours of June 27th, the European Championship group stage concluded, with Spain emerging as the only team to achieve a perfect record of three wins and three clean sheets.
Spain’s journey through the group stage saw them dominate Croatia with a 3-0 victory, followed by narrow wins against Italy (1-0) and Albania (1-0). Their impressive defensive performance, boasting zero goals conceded, secured a comfortable passage to the Round of 16.
Despite landing in the tougher half of the draw, Spain will face a relatively weaker opponent in the Round of 16, Georgia. This offers them the opportunity to avoid expending too much energy early on in the knockout stages.
Do you believe Spain’s strong performance is a case of peaking too early, or are they showcasing the characteristics of a potential champion?
