There are 2 Spanish National Team players who will marry the Euro 2024 title with the Paris 2024 Olympics which are interesting to know. One of them is the young Barcelona star, Fermin Lopez.
The Spanish National Team seems to have found its best generation again like when they won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. Because various major competitions are now being won by the Spanish National Team.
Like at Euro 2024 yesterday, the Spanish National Team successfully emerged as champions after defeating England with a score of 2-1. Then Spain also successfully won the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics after winning 5-3 over France.
Of the two major competitions won by the Spanish National Team, there were two players who were involved in being able to marry Euro 2024 and the Paris 2024 Olympics. Curious who they are?
Here are 2 Spanish National Team Players Who Will Combine the Euro 2024 Title with the Paris 2024 Olympics:
2. Alex Baena
In the Paris 2024 Olympics tournament, each country will field the strength of the U-23 National Team. However, each country is allowed to field only a few senior players.
Baena himself only turned 23 on July 20, 2024 yesterday. So he can still strengthen the Spanish U-23 National Team at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
In that tournament, Baena, who plays as an attacking midfielder, was able to play five matches by contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. One of those goals was scored by Baena in the final against France.
Then Baena was also included in the Spanish National Team squad when they won Euro 2024. He had time to play in two group phase matches with a total playing time of only 25 minutes.
1. Fermin Lopez
Just like Baena, Fermin Lopez is also part of the Spanish squad at Euro 2024 and the Paris 2024 Olympics. At Euro 2024, the 21-year-old player was only trusted to play once, precisely when Spain won 1-0 over Albania in the group stage.
Then at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Fermin Lopez emerged as a mainstay player for the Spanish U-23 National Team. Trusted to play in all six matches, the young Barcelona star managed to score 6 goals and 2 assists.
