Spain’s qualification for the last 16 is already confirmed, but manager Luis de la Fuente said “prestige” remains on the line in a “really tough” game.
“Albania have fantastic fans and have already sprung a surprise here,” said the Spain boss.
“We’ll approach this game as we have all the others, as if it’s the last. Of course, we have a gameplan for the players we feel are apt for this game. We’re only focusing on winning because we want to win every game.”
Albania can clinch second if they beat Spain and Croatia beat Italy – although, if Croatia’s margin of victory is two goals greater than Albania’s, they would jump above their Group B rivals.
Even if Albania fail to finish in the top two, they still have a change of progressing as one of the four best third-placed sides.
