Aymeric Laporte has retaliated against critics who argued his move to Saudi Arabia should have disqualified him from Spain's Euro 2024-winning squad.

The defender started in six of Spain's seven matches in Germany and played every minute of their 2-1 win over England in the final.

Laporte, 30, left Manchester City last summer after seven trophy-laden seasons to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr for £23.5million.

Detractors in Spain wanted to see him axed from the national team after his move to a less reputable league but now he has had the last laugh.
