Five best players in Spain squad for Euro 2020

Over the past decade and a half Spain have had one of the best teams not just in Europe but in the world. While Spain's current squad may not have as many big names as the 2010 World Cup-winning squad, they still have a number of star players. The five best players in Spain squad for Euro 2020 perhaps are Jordi Alba, Aymeric Laporte, Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Alcantara and Alvaro Morata.

While Barcelona have not had the best of season, Jordi Alba can yet be expected to shine as his personal performances have still been pretty strong. The 32-year-old left-back scored three goals and five assists in 35 LaLiga appearances. Similarly, although Juventus have not had the best of seasons, Alvaro Morata still seems to have outperformed, having scored 11 goals and 9 assists in 32 Serie A appearances. Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara bossed the midfield for Liverpool and was a crucial player in leading the Reds to Champions League football this season.

When it comes to Aymeric Laporte, although he featured in just a few games for Manchester City this season, his clean sheets record over the past few seasons is yet staggering. In 75 Premier League appearances for the Cityzens, the Spanish centre half has 32 clean sheets. Laporte was one of Pep Guardiola side's top defenders before Ruben Diaz came in this summer.

As for Cesar Azpilicueta, his stats were just stunning this season. The Chelsea captain led his side to a Champions League trophy for the first time since 2011/12. In terms of his stats, the Spanish right-back recorded 12 clean sheets in 26 Premier League appearances.
