Quotes
"We have Croatia to start with, we already know the difficulties they caused us in the Nations League," Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente said about their Group B rivals.
"The second match is against Italy, the current champions and they will turn up giving it their all to be champions. And then Albania, who finished top of their group.
"They have had a very good qualifying campaign. The group forces us not to get ahead of ourselves and forget about who we might play in later rounds, we can't look beyond these three matches".
