Spain will welcome Cyprus to the Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes in the group stage of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Tuesday.
The hosts continued their fine form after winning the UEFA Nations League in June and recorded an impressive 7-1 away win at Georgia on Friday. Álvaro Morata bagged a hat-trick but his prolific outing was outshone by a debut goal from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, who is now the youngest player to make an appearance for La Roja and their youngest goalscorer as well.
The visitors' poor form in the competition continued on Saturday as they suffered a 3-0 home loss to Scotland, conceding three goals in the first 30 minutes of the game.
