-

The beginning of Spain's Euro 2016 adventure looked to be going to plan with a late win over Czech Republic and a dominant performanc­e against Turkey. But the final group stage match was a six-pointer against Croatia, who looked to be the tournament dark horses.Whoever came out on top would win the group. In the event, Croatia came from behind to earn a superb 2-1 victory, Ramos again missing from the spot. Then came the 2-0 last 16 defeat against Italy - and del Bosque’s departure.
