Spain welcome upbeat Denmark

Speaking at UEFA's recent 14th Conference for National Team Coaches and Technical Directors, coach Luis de la Fuente put Spain's EURO 2024 triumph down to "work, work and more work", and his side continue to fight for each other in Group A4, having followed up a 0-0 draw in Serbia with a 4-1 win in Switzerland despite being reduced to ten men after just 20 minutes.

On Matchday 3, they face another side not afraid of hard toil, with Denmark having won their first two matches under new boss Lars Knudsen without conceding. "We have an even more difficult game coming up," warned defender Rasmus Kristensen.
