Spain 2012 Away Shirt Jordi Alba

Spain entered Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine as both World Cup and European champions, the dominant side of an era defined by the tiki-taka passing style developed at Barcelona and exported to the national team under coach Vicente del Bosque. The squad was built almost entirely around Barcelona and Real Madrid players, with Xavi, Iniesta and Casillas forming the backbone of a team chasing an unprecedented third consecutive major title.

Spain went through the tournament unbeaten, finishing top of their group before defeating France in the quarter-final and Portugal on penalties in the semi-final. In the final against Italy in Kyiv on 1 July 2012, Spain produced their most complete performance of the tournament, winning 4-0, the biggest margin of victory in a European Championship final. David Silva opened the scoring before Jordi Alba, a 23-year-old left-back making his major tournament debut, scored Spain's second after a 50-metre run from his own half, finishing past Gianluigi Buffon. Fernando Torres and Juan Mata added two late goals as Italy played the closing stages with ten men. The win made Spain the first side to win three consecutive major international tournaments.

This away shirt was made by Adidas, predominantly white in line with the brand's 2012 international template, and was worn by Jordi Alba throughout the tournament, including in the final. Alba had only just completed his transfer from Valencia to Barcelona that summer, and his goal in Kyiv became one of the defining individual moments of Spain's run, making this shirt a piece of one of the great nights in the country's football history. This iconic Spain 2012 away shirt is available in size kids large (kids L) and excellent condition. There are two tiny bobbles on the bottom right of the shirt. X16716 is the style code for this Adidas Euros shirt.
