Mikel Merino turns Spain’s unlikely hero in Euro24

"The children" Nico Williams Jr. and Lamine Yamal were not on the field. Alvaro Morata, the starting striker and captain, was also substituted out. With the 1-0 lead against Germany lost due to Spain's misplaced strategy, the quarterfinal of Euro 2024 was in jeopardy.



La Roja was drawn to an old narrative. The three big tournament exits that occurred in 2018, 2021, and 2022 all occurred in a shootout. However, Mikel Merino, who had entered the game to lessen Germany's threat, changed the course of events with a stunning game-winning goal with one minute remaining in extra time.
