Spain coach is injured before the key match

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente came across the background when he prepared for the upcoming quarter -finals against the Netherlands. De la Fuente was forced to make two unexpected changes to his squad after the recent injuries to the most important players.

FC Barcelona figures, defender Iñigo Martínez and midfielder Marc Casado, exposed themselves to Atlético Madrid on Sunday evening after the dramatic 4-2 victory on Sunday evening. Martínez left the match, which breastfeeds a knee injury, which raises concerns about its availability for the national team. The injury is particularly disappointing for the 33-year-old Martínez, who deserves 21 caps for Spain, but has not played games since de la Fuente after the FIFA 2022 World Championship.

Casado has also maintained a knee problem that strengthened the selection problems for the former coach of the youth national teams. In order to close the gaps left behind by these injuries, De la Fuente has turned to promising players. Aleix Garcia was appointed to cover Casado, and Dean Huijsen will appear from the U-21 squad to take a seat.

In the meantime, the excitement for Spanish fans is noticeable because their team wants to build on the most recent dynamics that arises from the club performances. On March 17, 2025, FC Barcelona secured an exciting comeback against Atlético Madrid and presented her resistance under coach Hansi Flick. The Catalan team, which was accompanied by the goals by Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth, managed to triumph 4: 2 and extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 18 games.

Remarkably, this unbeaten series coincides with Flick's term in Barcelona, which after their last defeat against the same Atlético team on December 22, 2024, which ended 2-1. The current record for the longest unbeaten run is by Luis Enrique, whose squad achieved 39 games without defeat in 2016. Flick's focus is now shifting to secure his place among the most successful managers of the club by exceeding the record of Tata Martino of 20 games.

Barcelona will be the next demanding games with games against Osasuna and Girona, who have both proven themselves as difficult opponents. Osasuna had previously handed over his only defeat to Barcelona this season. After these encounters, Barcelona will again meet Atlético Madrid for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi -final on April 3, 2025, and these challenges will test the team's determination.

While Barcelona aims to maintain their impressive run, they also make progress on the transmission front. The management of the club has identified the recruitment of a reliable wing player as the top priority for the upcoming transfer market. Both Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are key figures in the plans of Coach Flick, but their high minutes on the field have expressed concerns about their perseverance, which led to demands for reinforcements.

Two names have developed as fan favorites: Rafael Leão from AC Milan and Luis Díaz from Liverpool. Both players bring unique properties to the table. Leão, known for his explosive speed and evaluation of skills, is preferred by President Joan Laporta due to his extraordinary performance in Series A. In the meantime, Díaz is celebrated for his high intensity, his defensive work and his skillful dribble, which makes him a further practical option for Barcelona's desired approach.

The challenges remain on the horizon, especially about financial restrictions due to the salary limit of La Liga. Despite the coveted ratio of 1: 1, the club still struggles to secure the orders at the highest level without taking existing contracts. Possible outgoing transmissions can include Ferran Torres, which would not only create the necessary salary space worth 35 million euros, but would also enable the acquisition of one of the coveted wingers.

Despite its number of 11 goals only 1,100 minutes, management is said to be considering exploring replacement options that they believe that they would offer more than Torres. The upcoming transfer market is ready to provide excitement Barcelona and its die -hard fans, as they maintain the efforts to consolidate their squad and continue to compete on several fronts.

With injuries that affect the selection of the national squad and the ambitions of the clubs, the next few weeks promise to be exciting for supporters of Spanish football.
