Sitting ahead of Brazil ($4.00), France ($5.50), Germany ($7.50) and Argentina ($7.50), La Roja will be an extremely challenging team to beat for anyone.

Gunning for their first football gold medal since 1992 at their home Barcelona Olympics, this team is packed full of stars and desperate for success. Spearheaded by six men who played for Spain during their Euros campaign, it’s a real luxury having Pedro, Unai Simon, Mikel Oyarzabal, Dani Olmo, Pau Torres and Eric Garcia within their ranks.

“I want to make sure that everyone knows we will not take risks with anyone, their health and fitness comes first. We have 22 top-level players so we will be able to rotate without any problems.”

To further highlight what an outstanding side they’ve sent, the likes of Oscar Mingueza, Marc Cucurella, Carlos Soler, Bryan Gil and Jesus Vallejo punctuate their class.

With group matches against Argentina and Australia to come next, they’ll be eager to turn things around and get a win on the board.

Considering the quality and depth in their squad, there’s every reason to suggest they’ll do just that and show their competitors exactly why they’re so highly fancied to take home gold in Tokyo.
