Pablo Sarabia: "Football players do not have paternity leave, and that influences; my ability to concentrate was zero". The last thing he did with the national team, December 2022, was hit two balls into the posts.
The first was about to give Spain a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The second was the first missed penalty in the shootout against Morocco, an abrupt end to that Qatari adventure. Luis Enrique's words - "The only thing I regret is how little Sarabian has played" were a small balm.
