What can Barcelona learn from the Spain team at EURO 2024?

Barcelona no longer contribute as many pillars to the Spanish national team as the previous generation, but they still have a few bright stars in La Roja.

Closing the group stage at EURO 2024, it can be said that the Spanish team is the name that left the most impression when winning all 9 points after 3 matches.

They crushed the team in the top 3 of the 2022 World Cup, Croatia with a score of 3-0, completely overwhelmed the reigning European champions, Italy to win 1-0 before launching their squad. sub but still surpassed Albania 1-0.

Although there are no longer many bright stars in the squad, coach Luis De La Fuente’s Spain team still shows a coherent playing style, effective ball control and sharp attacks with speedy coordination exercises. 2 wings.

Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres are the names that have had the opportunity to play at EURO 2024 for Spain
There, the role of Barcelona players such as Pedri or Lamine Yamal is still quite prominent. Pedri is an indispensable ball circulation station in the midfield while Yamal, with his acceleration and technical handling, constantly makes things difficult for the opposing defenders.

Of course, this generation of Barca can hardly be compared with their predecessors, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, David Villa, Cesc Fabregas or Pedro always has a place to play at La Roja by default.

More importantly, through this EURO period, Barca can track some bright faces to bring to the Nou Camp in the summer transfer window.

It is known that Blaugrana has paid attention to a number of targets, notably Nico Williams. The left wing striker of Athletic Bilbao knocked Barca’s Ferran Torres to the bench. He impressed with his wind-breaking speed, tricky dribbling ability and was the focal point in the Spain team’s quick counter-attacks.
Nico Williams plays well for Spain.
If Nico Williams is recruited, he will bring the ability to play more directly for coach Hansi Flick’s team, especially when No. 17 La Roja has much better acceleration ability than Ferran Torres.

In addition, another notable name to mention is Dani Olmo. The RB Leipzig player has long been on Barca’s radar as he can play in almost any position on the offensive line. In addition, creativity and being able to function as well as a number 10 are also another plus point for Olmo.

Both the Catalunya representative and the Spanish team play with a 4-3-3 formation and if coach Luis De La Fuente can operate well a La Roja without many outstanding stars, then with coach Hansi Flick, fans will Barca’s grave has the right to hope that the former German captain will do more than that at the Nou Camp.
