Spain won in its debut at "EURO 2024", defeating Croatia with a clean score of 3-0. This is the team's seventh victory in an opening match of a European tournament. Spain's only loss in its first European match dates back to the 2000 edition against Norway, 0-1. However, the triumph of the Spaniards had a "negative" result.
For the first time, after 2008, "Furia Roha" loses the duel related to keeping the ball, 54% in favor of Croatia.
The last time Spain was outplayed in possession was on November 18, 2014, almost ten years ago, in a friendly played in Balaidos (Vigo) against Germany, a match that ended with Germany winning 0-1.
According to "Corriere della Sera", this is the end of the famous tiki-taka, now the team led by De La Fuente is another team, with vertical, more aggressive and more cynical. De La Fuente has finally erased this game philosophy that the Spaniards turned into an art by winning 2 Europeans and 1 World Cup.
Over the years, this strategy started to become ineffective, even at the World Cup in Qatar, Spain held 77% of the ball against Morocco, but in the end they were eliminated.
