According to the "World Sports Newspaper", the average age of the Spanish national team that will compete in the European Championship is 26.5 years old, which is the fifth youngest team in this tournament. It's a team that fights for the present, but it's also a team that looks to the future, because it means that many active internationals can enter the Qatar World Cup at their peak.
There are many players in this Spanish national team who do not have the background to play in major national team competitions, and for many players, this will be their first european championship. A clear example is that in the current squad of the Spanish national team, only two players followed the team to win the European Championship in 2012: Busquets and Alba. In addition to these two Barca players, in Henrique's 24-man roster, only Azpilicueta, Cork, De Gea and Thiago have played with the national team in major competitions, such as the European Championship or the World Cup.
<b>In other words, 18 players in this Spanish squad are playing in the European Championship for the first time. </b>There is no longer any player in the team who has experienced Spain winning two consecutive European Championships and one World Cup in 2008-2012, and Ramos is the only player actively involved in that era, but this time he has not been called up by Enrique.
Busquets and Alba are both 32 years old, and they are already veterans of this national team in terms of age and international experience. Players like Pedri are very young, and in the entire Spanish national team's 24-man roster, only 5 are over the age of 30: De Gea, Azpilicueta, Alba, Thiago and Busquets.
<b>Pedri is the youngest player in the Matadors and is currently 18 years old, in addition to Eric Garcia, 20, Ferran Torres, 21, and Olmo, Unai Simon and Robert Sanchez, 23, are also very young. </b>As you can see, this Spain team competing in this European Championship is a young team that wants to make their own history from here.
