EURO 2020: Spain vs Sweden Player Ratings as Spain endure frustrating stalemate against Sweden

Spain started their EURO 2020 campaign on Monday with a home match fixture against Sweden. The match ended in a 0-0 draw between the two sides as Luis Enrique’s side endured a frustrating evening at Seville.

Spain enjoyed as much as 86% possession throughout the entire match and still could not break down a well-oiled Swedish defence who were very compact playing with a 4-4-2 shape. Alvaro Morata missed a couple of chances for the hosts, but all in all it was not a performance which was expected of the Spanish national side. A couple of decisions by Luis Enrique has come under severe criticism after the result as Spain now need to win their remaining two fixtures against Poland and Slovakia to qualify for the knock-out stages.

Here are the player ratings for the Group E clash which might have lacked goals but was still a good-watch for the viewers.
