Jordi Alba admitted Spain’s players were “gutted” after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Poland but is backing them to deliver against Slovakia on Wednesday and reach the last 16 of Euro 2020.

“We lack a bit of luck,” said stand-in captain Alba. “We’re doing things well and we are going to turn things around, I am convinced of that.
“Nobody can question our effort. People can blame us all they want but the intensity, the motivation that this team has is unquestionable.
