Albania's Defensive Woes Continue

Conceding Two Goals in Consecutive Matches

Albania's defensive frailties have been exposed once again as they have conceded two goals in each of their last two games at UEFA EURO 2024. After losing 1-2 to Italy, they drew 2-2 with Croatia, having only shipped two goals in their previous seven matches.

Albania's Struggles Against Spain

In their most recent match, Albania put in a lackluster performance against tournament favorites Spain. After a promising start, they were unable to create any meaningful chances and allowed Spain to dominate possession. The only goal of the match came from Ferran Torres in the 54th minute, condemning Albania to their second defeat in three matches.

Assessment of Albania's Defense

Albania's defense has been a source of concern for fans and pundits alike. Despite having experienced players like Berat Gjimshiti and Frédéric Veseli in the lineup, they have been unable to maintain a solid backline. Individual errors and lack of communication have contributed to their defensive lapses.

Looking Ahead for Albania

With one match remaining in the group stage, Albania's chances of reaching the knockout rounds are slim. They are facing Belgium, the top-ranked team in the world, and need a positive result to keep their hopes alive. However, Albania will need to find a way to shore up their defense if they are to have any chance of success.
