Spain star clear in Euro 2024 title mission

Spain take on Georgia in Euro 2024 last 16 action on June 30 in Cologne.

La Roja eased out of Group B with three wins from three group games as the only team with maximum points in the competition.

However, the next step comes against a Georgia side making their tournament debut, who Spain beat twice in qualification.

Luis de la Fuente opted for multiple changes for the final group game, a 1-0 win over Albania, with a spot in the next round already safe.

Spain are favourites to progress and Alejandro Grimaldo is confident they can go all the way.

“It’s all or nothing. We’re not afraid of being seen as favourites”, as per quotes from Marca.

“We’re used to pressure. We’re playing well and we’ve come here to win the European Championship.”

Grimaldo is expected to drop to the bench against Georgia, after completing 90 minutes vs Albania, with Marc Cucurella currently first choice left back for de la Fuente.

The 28-yer-old can feel aggrieved at playing a back up role, after scoring ten goals from defence, as Bayer Leverkusen won a first ever Bundesliga title last season.
