Spain disappointed at the 2022 World Cup by being knocked out by Morocco in the last 16. We take a look at how each player played at the tournament in Qatar.
Unai Simón: Disappointed against Japan. Came up with a big save on Musiala in the second half against Germany and denied Sané. 6
César Azpilicueta: Provided the cross for Morata’s goal against Japan. 5
Dani Carvajal: Gave away possession under pressure and failed to influence going forward. 4
Aymeric Laporte: 6
Pau Torres: 4
Rodri: Composed at centre-back, which is not his natural position, but where Luis Enrique played him. 7
Jordi Alba: Was excellent against Costa Rica and assisted Morata against Germany but more was expected against Morocco. 6
Alejandro Balde: Called up late after an injury to José Luis Gayà. 6
Sergio Busquets: Not the tournament he was hoping for and it could be his last World Cup. 3
