Spain's Euro 2008 winning squad - Where are they now?

#12 Santi Cazorla

Cazorla was surprisingly included over Riera in the Spanish national squad

Luis Aragones surprised the Spanish press by including the uncapped Cazorla in his Euro squad, over more established wingers such as Joaquin and Albert Riera. Justifying the decision, Aragonés stated, "They are players [Cazorla and García] who are performing very well and had the possibility of coming. I made myself decide between Riera and Cazorla where I considered each player's form."

Cazorla made 5 substitute appearances in the tournament with his most important contribution being scoring his penalty in the shootout against Italy in the quarter-finals.

Cazorla was at Villarreal during the Euros, now, the Spaniard is one of the most important members of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal side.
