Spain go into their final Euro 2024 Group B match with the luxury of having sealed top spot already, thanks to their 1-0 win over Italy on Thursday. But this is far from a dead rubber, as their opponents Albania are eyeing progression at a major tournament for the first time in their history.
Sylvinho’s men know that they will probably need a win if they are to qualify for the last-16, but will have a close eye on tonight’s other match, which pits Croatia against Italy. An Albanian win and an Italian defeat could see Albania through in second place, on an evening where an abacus could be required to work out all the feasible permutations.
