Spain's Time Is Now - Enrique Iglesias

Iglesias was booked to perform the song long before Spain eventually made their way to their first final in 20 years, and will now have more than just his own performance on his mind tomorrow night.

Spain have won just one major trophy in their history - the second ever Euro on home soil in 1964 - and Iglesias is hoping that Spain, with the talent at their disposal, will end their curse in Vienna tomorrow evening.

"I'm really delighted to be able to make my contribution to the football festival in Switzerland and Austria," said Enrique. "It's a real honour to perform at the final.

"The time has come [for Spain]. If not now, when?"

The singer's father, Julio Iglesias, played for Real Madrid's youth team as a goalkeeper before a car accident ended that career prematurely.

His son Enrique is a self-confessed football fan, evidenced by his hit song 'Can You Hear Me?'. He explains: "I wanted to write a song that would really enthuse the fans, whether they are in the stadium, the pub or wherever else they hear it played," he said, before jokingly adding: "Really I only wrote the song to get the chance to play at a EURO final."
