It's been a few years since Spain were at the top of the international football world. They won Euro 2008, the World Cup in 2010 and then followed that up with another Euros success in 2012.

Spain disappointed at Euro 2016 and at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, going out at the round of 16 on both occasions.

They bounced back at Euro 2020, with Pedri and co losing to winners Italy on penalties in the semi-finals.

Spain topped their qualifying group and Luis Enrique will be hoping for more success in Qatar this winter.

They will likely have plenty of possession in the tournament and they'll rely on their flair players to finish the job up top.
