DÜSSELDORF, Germany -- An afterthought in one of Euro 2024's most fearsome groups, Albania go into their final game of the group stage against Spain on Monday with a sliver of hope of reaching the knockout rounds for the first time in the country's history.

After narrowly losing to Italy and drawing with Croatia, a win against a Spain side who have already topped the group and are expected to rotate their squad would seal their passage into the last 16. A draw could even be enough if Croatia fail to beat Italy and results in other groups go their way, allowing them to progress as one of the best third-placed teams with two points.
