Since 2008, when the Spanish international dynasty began with their first European Championship, followed by a World Cup, and then another Euro in 2012, the Barcelona DNA has been all over the national team.
Under the stewardship of Luis de la Fuente, this is not your Spanish selection of the late aughts. Things are changing, and this young team looks better than it has in a long time.
Still, as they have shown throughout the group stage, Spain dominates possession.
They made Italy and Croatia look like amateurs, and small but mighty Albania as well.
Barcelona’s very own Lamine Yamal and Pedri are the stars of the show, and even Ferran Torres is getting in on the action in what will likely be his only starting appearance of the tournament.
