""We can't take a win for granted because these are two tough away games,""

Spain claimed its third European Championship since 2008 after standout performances from Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pedri. Dean Huijsen has joined the senior squad following a breakout season with Bournemouth and a May move to Real Madrid. Huijsen attempted 1,601 and completed 1,348 passes—the most of any Premier League player born in or after 2005—and made 276 progressive carries. La Roja begin World Cup qualifying with away matches in Bulgaria and Turkiye, and Huijsen warned against underestimating those opponents. Spain also reached the Nations League final, losing to Portugal on penalties, and coach Luis de la Fuente stressed the difficulty of qualifying.
