The final games of Euro 2024’s Group B took place on Monday night, with Spain facing Albania and Italy taking on Croatia.

Spain had already guaranteed top spot in their group, and Arsenal’s David Raya was given an opportunity to impress against Albania ahead of usual starter Unai Simon.

The Gunners goalkeeper did just that, making four saves to prevent 0.84 expected goals and keep a clean sheet. He also completed 84% of his passes, including 100% of his short passes.

Spain won the match 1-0, ensuring they’ll enter the knockout stages with a perfect three wins from three games.

Things weren’t so straightforward for Jorginho and Italy against Croatia.

Despite a strong individual display from the Arsenal midfielder, who completed 95% of his 77 attempted passes and made four tackles, Croatia took the lead in the 55th minute via Luka Modric.

Italy’s tournament was in the balance, with Croatia set to replace them as Group B’s runner-up. But Mattia Zaccagni scored a 98th-minute equaliser to reclaim that runner-up spot and send his team through at Croatia’s expense.

That result guaranteed that England and France have also qualified for the last-16, as four points will be enough if either of them finish third in their group.
