Albania will not go away. Theirs is a resilience exemplified by Klaus Gjasula, who came off the bench to try shore up a 1-0 lead against Croatia, scored an own goal to see it whittled away inside four minutes and then calmly slotted home his first international goal for a scarcely credible equaliser his team fully deserved. Sylvinho's side must win to stay in the tournament – their record against Spain: P8, L8 – but with such determination in their DNA, why not a Balkan fairytale?
Spain produced arguably the performance of the tournament so far in beating defending champions Italy in as dominant a 1-0 win as it's possible to produce. The three-time European champions' possession obsession is now allied with direct wingers in the blood-twisting form of Nico Williams and 16-year-old brace-botherer Lamine Yamal. They may take some stopping, even if coach Luis de la Fuente seems likely to rest all his major stars with top spot secured.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch Euro 2024 wherever you are.

How to watch Albania vs Spain for FREE in the UK
Use a VPN to watch FREE from anywhere
Albania vs Spain is free on BBC Two/iPlayer for viewers in the UK. Outside the UK? No problem. If you're away from home and want to tune into BBC iPlayer as normal, you can use a VPN so that you don't get blocked by the broadcaster.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there but, for Euro 2024, FourFourTwo recommends:
NordVPN is basically a tap-in:
1. Install it: NordVPN
2. Fire it up and choose your service. So, if you want to watch a UK streaming service, choose the UK server.
3. Enjoy the game. Open up the iPlayer and watch the stream.
Albania vs Spain live stream: team news
Abania have no fresh injury worries, but will be without Mirlind Daku, who has picked up a two-game ban from UEFA for unsportsmanlike behaviour after grabbing a megaphone and chanting anti North Macedonia and Serbia songs following the Red and Blacks' 2-2 draw with Croatia.
Armando Broja, Gjasula, Elseid Hysaj and Arber Hoxha are all on two yellow cards and would miss the last 16, should Albania get there, if they receive another. Boss Sylvinho is likely to stick with the XI that has impressed many with its vibrancy.
Spain, meanwhile, are likely to make wholesale change to their XI, with boss De la Fuente conceding "the last thing we want is injuries". One is guaranteed – midfielder Rodri serves a suspension for yellow card accumulation – but Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Alvaro Morata, Dani Carvajal, Marc Cucurella and Fabian Ruiz are all expected to get a rest.
Nacho and Ayoze Perez miss out through injury – unfortunate for both as they would likely have started – but Joselu, Alejandro Grimaldo, Mikel Oyarzabal, Jesus Navas, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi are among the names expected to get game time.
