They also secured a 2-0 victory over Scotland in the Euro 2024 qualifier, further showcasing their strength and determination.
As Spain celebrates their qualification, the road to Euro 2024 promises to be an exciting journey, with fans around the world eager to witness the performances of these top-tier European teams.
