Euro 2016 Match Schedule - Spain Team
Update the latest information on the schedule, players, coaches and squad of the Spanish team at Euro 2016
Table D
Spain
As reigning Euro champions, Spain are expected to successfully defend their title in France this summer. Despite a number of changes to their squad since winning EURO 2012, they are still a strong team and have a good chance of taking home the Henri Delaunay Trophy for the third consecutive time.
Eligibility
Group C winner
At the end of the EURO 2016 qualifying round, Group C, Spain finished first with 9 wins and only one loss. That was against Slovakia. They scored 23 goals and conceded 3, a very impressive performance.
Probability of success
SkyBet predicts Spain will easily advance to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. Their chances of making it out of the group stage are 94.1%. Meanwhile, Spain's chances of winning the tournament are 15.4%. On the way to the final, Spain could face either England or Portugal. And it's not too difficult a journey.
Expected lineup
- Goalkeeper:David De Gea;
- Defender:Hector Bellerin, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Jordi Alba;
- Midfielder:Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta;
- Forward:David Silva, Pedro, Alvaro Morata.
Key player
David Silva
Spain will have to rely heavily on David Silva if they are to win Euro 2016. Silva is the orchestrator of Manchester City's play and the Spanish national team. He scored five goals in the Euro 2016 qualifiers and could reach 100 appearances for his country if he reaches the final.
Coach
Vicente del Bosque
The 65-year-old strategist helped Spain win the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. If he helps his team win Euro 2016, it will be a meaningful farewell gift from this coach to his team. After Euro 2016, Mr. Del Bosque will say goodbye to the Spanish national team.
