Sulky Spanish striker Joselu is the latest player to come out with a sour grapes interview after launching a trio of excuses for their shock defeat to Scotland.
The veteran Espanyol frontman and Newcastle United flop claimed Scotland ‘didn’t play football’, Spain were denied a ‘clear penalty’ and that Scott McTominay only scored one of his two goals due to a mistake from Spain. Steve Clarke’s men overpowered the three-times European champions this week with a famous 2-0 win at Hampden to put them in pole position to qualify for Euro 2024.
But a series of seething Spaniards have been wheeled out to make excuses led by captain Rodri accusing Scotland of playing 'rubbish football. And both David Garcia and Dani Ceballos bleated about the state of the Hampden pitch. Now Joselu, who scored a dream double on his international debut against Norway days before turning 33 at the weekend, is the latest in the conveyor belt of complainers to have a moan.
