In December 2011 David Villa broke his leg in the Club World Cup with Barcelona, and he has never really recovered from that, and there are serious doubts about him for Euro 2012.

Villa has been the best striker in La Liga for the past 6 seasons, and has been top scorer for both Euro 2008 and the World Cup in 2010, and is Spain's top scorer in history.

So without him, it's safe to say that Spain would not have the killer edge, the final touch, that their intricate passing needs.
