SPAIN were expected to breeze through the Euro 2020 group stage as group winners, but not all is going to plan.

Who can Spain play if they qualify for the Euro 2020 last 16?
If Spain qualify as Group E winners, they will play a third placed team at Hampden Park on Tuesday, June 29.
That currently looks like being Scotland or Croatia, but could be Ukraine if the third placed team from Group E is eliminated or if Scotland vs Croatia ends in a draw.
Should Spain finish second, they will head to Copenhagen to play the runner-up in Group D.
And if Spain finish third, they are likely to stay in Seville to host Belgium.
