La Roja will fight for its third European Championship in a row throughout a championship in which the team will have to solve its problems in attack.

Macedonia prepares for a difficult match in which they are to face a team that has beaten them in the past three matches they have played. "We respect Spain as one of the best national football teams in the world.
