Just like in Sweden, it is a midfielder who is captain of the national football team. But unlike Andreas Granqvist, Sergio Ramos is not allowed to participate in the European Championships.
The 35-year-old has not been selected in Spain’s squad. He played his 180th international in March, but has had an injured season at Real Madrid with a minor knee operation, a couple of other injuries and he has been ill in covid-19.
Sweden meets Spain in the European Championship premiere on June 14 in Seville.
