Spanish newspaper Marca has given its backing to the national side ahead of their showdown with Slovakia later today.

Luis Enrique's side currently sit third in Group E after two draws in their first two games. Spain opened their Euro 2020 campaign with a goalless stalemate against Sweden and were held to a 1-1 draw days later by Poland.

Sweden are at the summit on four points, Slovakia in second on three with Poland propping up Group E, a point behind Spain.

Tonight the three-time European Championship winners face Slovakia in a Group E decider. 

If Spain win they will qualify for the last 16, either as winners or group runners-up, reliant on how leaders Sweden do against Poland.

Draw and they are dependent on other results but if they lose Enrique's side will suffer a shock exit from the competition.

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets is reportedly in line to start for Spain on Wednesday

Newspaper Marca threw its support behind the Spanish national team on Wednesday morning with the front page splash: 'We trust you' alongside a professional squad photo. 

SPORT's headline read: 'La Roja ready to play' and the outlet also claimed Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets was in line to make his Euro 2020 bow. 

The 32-year-old has not feature in this summer's tournament after contracting coronavirus before a ball was kicked at Euro 2020. He was given the all-clear for the second group game but was not selected after not training with the team.

It is likely that skipper Busquets will replace Manchester City's Rodri in the heart of the Spain midfield.

The pressure is building following Spain's underwhelming start, particularly after Enrique sprang a surprise by naming no Real Madrid players in his squad, with their captain and 2010 World Cup winner Sergio Ramos the most notable absentee.
