Obviously, the Spanish Federation had not done all these steps for nothing.
After the green light given by Fifa on May 14, Aymeric Laporte, naturalized three days previously, appears in the list of 24 players communicated this Monday by Luis Enrique to participate in the Euro (June 11 - July 11).
But the thunderclap lies in the absence of Sergio Ramos (35).
No Real Madrid player is in the group ... The coach explained in a press conference that he had a discussion with the iconic captain, regularly injured and far from his optimal level.
“It is not easy to convey news that is not positive, but I have to make the decision that I think is the best for the team.
