Spain's pre-Euro 2020 drama is familiar, but this time they are outsiders

For anyone panicking that Spain might struggle at Euro 2020 because they've dropped one captain (Sergio Ramos) and then lost another to a positive COVID-19 test (Sergio Busquets), it's worth remembering that La Roja perpetually love a pre-tournament drama.
