Luis de la Fuente celebrates his 63rd birthday with the players and coaching staff of a national team that has already qualified for the Last 16 of the European Championships

The Spanish national team return to training in Donaueschingen on Friday.

The Spanish national team are set play their last two qualifiers for the 2025 European Championships.

The president of the RFEF, Pedro Rocha, and the captain of the team, Álvaro Morata, presented a shirt to the Head of State, who congratulated the players and coaching staff.

The national coach was proud of the team's performance against Italy and delighted with the group of players under his management.

The Spanish international was directly involved in the goal and was a constant threat during the 71 minutes he was on the pitch.

Spain conclude the group stage next Monday against Albania next Monday and will compete for a place in the quarter-finals on Sunday 30 June in Cologne.

A superb display of play from a national team moving solidly towards the latter stages of the European Championships.

The goalkeeper, who always sticks to his plans for penalty kicks, is cautious of Italy.

Three friends from the town of Soneja in Castellón, Spain, are loving the European Championships together after the pandemic thwarted their plans last time round.

Spain will be looking to qualify for the Last 16 of the European Championships on Thursday, having played Italy at the last 5 European Championships.
