Yet another European national team has announced the squad for the European Championship. There are 29 names on the list, and three of them must be crossed out no later than June 7th. The manager, Luis de la Fuente, has opted for a combination of youth and experience, hoping to win Spain’s fourth European Championship trophy, the first after 2012.At EURO 2020, Spain reached the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by the future champion and this year’s group stage rival – Italy. Nevertheless, the wounds from the last World Cup in Qatar are still fresh and still hurt just like they did two years ago. The shocking elimination already in the round of 16 by the eventual semi-finalist, Morocco, sealed Luis Enrique’s faith and signalled that it was time for a change. De la Fuente was entrusted and now he will have a chance to prove that he was the right choice.🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 | Lista de preparación para la @EURO2024.📲 Guárdate esta creatividad. Puede ser histórica.#VamosEspaña | #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/5PT8Gf7PtG— Selección Española Masculina de Fútbol (@SEFutbol) May 27, 2024 Looking at the list, what first catches the eye is the fact that there are only three Real Madrid players: Nacho Fernández, Dani Carvajal and Joselu, who are supposed to contribute with their immense experience. On the other hand, Real’s biggest rival, Barcelona, has five youngsters on the list: Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Fermín López and Pau Cubarsí. Sevilla’s 38-year-old Jesus Navas also got called up and will have a chance to say goodbye to the national team jersey. When it comes to snubs, perhaps the most obvious one is the absence of PSG’s Marco Asensio, who was still injured for most of the season, as well as Tottenham’s Pedro Porro.EURO 2024: Six Inter players on Italy’s listRegardless of the squad, the three-time European champion is always among the favourites for the title. However, this time, La Roja will have one hell of a job given that they were drawn into one of the toughest groups in the tournament, alongside the former world and current European champions, Italy, a two-time vice-champions of the world, Croatia, and Albania.##NAJAVA_MECA_8128657##EURO 2024 SPAIN SQUAD:Goalkeepers: Unai Simon (Athletic Bilbao), David Raya (Arsenal), Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad)Defenders: Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), Jesus Navas (Sevilla), Nacho Fernandez (Real Madrid), Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr), Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona), Robin Le Normand (Real Sociedad), Dani Vivian (Athletic Bilbao), Marc Cucurella (Chelsea), Alex Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)Midfielders: Rodrigo (Manchester City), Fabian Ruiz (Paris Saint-Germain), Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad), Pedri (Barcelona), Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid), Fermin Lopez (Barcelona), Alex Baena (Villarreal), Aleix Garcia (Girona)Forwards: Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid), Joselu (Real Madrid), Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Dani Olmo (RB Leipzig), Ayoze Perez (Real Betis), Ferran Torres (Barcelona), Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
