Luis Enrique spoke before the match against Switzerland: "I keep what I said, tact and tranquility, he takes this as a reward to return to live, to listen again to the premises that we have in the selection. For me it is improving, we will go little by little, in the case of Ansu there is no hurry, the level and quality are beyond doubt pro is interesting to go little by little."

"I liked the vast majority of the players, I usually rely on what I see in training, today you see the state of the players and I repeat, I will make the decision. This is a short competition and the first two results have not been what we expected and it is clear that we need to score and win the game to have options to be in the Final Four, but in terms of the lineup even I do not know what I will do, I have an idea that I usually change after the last training".

"It's a very easy group to get along with, praiseworthy a thousandfold. This is a competition that despite all these things that surround us is very attractive and beautiful. Getting into another Final Four and being the first team to repeat is something that stimulates us, we will try to improve and be able to be there."

"If they have a year's contract how lucky they are that they have the upper hand, because clubs sometimes do their homework before. I don't even know who those ten are, in the national team I see people hyper-focused, hyper-prepared. It only happened to me once in my career".

"It's the game that the forwards have pressed the worst, they all blame Eric and it's the worst defensive game of ours, some mismatch in the defensive line but the pressure up top failed and changed because the line of three that we normally attack, the opponent changed their players and if our forwards don't press well everything else suffers. Individually we are not that good in duels but collectively we are. This is not about the fact that when we lose it's the defenders who are to blame and when we win it's the forwards who score goals".

U. Simon; M. Alonso, I. Martínez, E. García, D. Carvajal; Koke, Rodri, Gavi; D. Olmo, R. de Tomás, P. Sarabia.

R. Patricio; J. Cancelo, Pepe, D. Pereira, N. Mendes, B. Fernandes, R. Neves, William; Otavinho, C. Ronaldo, D. Jota.
