Less than a day after the elimination of the Spanish team in a penalty shootout for the third time in a row in a major tournament, and today (Wednesday) the country is also struggling to recover from the 3:0 loss to Morocco, after a fantastic display by Yassin Bono.
The similarity to the round of 16 in 2018 is very frustrating for the local media, and in "Marca" it was reported that the local football association expects Luis Enrique to take responsibility for the failure and announce the end of his position: "We returned to what happened four years ago, as if we were still in Moscow."
Will Morocco manage to continue surprising?

"He came after the World Cup in Russia, and football hasn't developed since then, it's in the same situation," it says, "the association admits that nothing has changed in the last four years."
Spain has not won a knockout game in the World Cup since the final in 2010, and now the confidence of the association in the national coach "is not what it was. In football you live from result to result, and this time it was not good."
They also added that a number of events that took place at the training camp created a distance between the parties.
Enrique has actually finished his contract (which expired at the end of 2022), and now the association expects him to be the one to take charge.
According to them, in past cases when the team did not succeed, it was the coach who announced the end of his position.
