With its rich footballing pedigree, Spain never expected to need a win from its final Group E game against Slovakia to reach the next stage of Euro 2020 — but it is forced to treat Wednesday’s match as a knockout game itself.

The three-time European champion is third in a wide-open Group E where leader Sweden, second-placed Slovakia or fourth-placed Poland can go through to the last 16 knockouts.
