Tiki-taka no more: Spain’s remarkable ball possession streak ends at Euro 2024 against Croatia
BERLIN (AP) — Greedy for the ball no more, Spain has won a game by playing unlike Spain.
After La Roja’s 3-0 victory over Croatia 3-0 at Euro 2024 on Saturday, the match statistics showed something extremely rare: Spain had only 46% possession.
Stats analyst Opta said it was the first time in 136 competitive matches that Spain had less of the ball than its opponent. Opta said that had not happened since the Euro 2008 final against Germany, which Spain won 1-0, also with 46% possession.
