England boss Tuchel eager to end Spain's unbeaten run
LONDON: Thomas Tuchel believes England are ready to end Spain’s unbeaten record when they face the world and European champions in Madrid on Sunday.
England manager Thomas Tuchel is confident his team can break Spain's 43-match unbeaten run when they face off in Madrid on Sunday. Tuchel emphasizes that victory would be a significant moment for England, as it would mark the end of Spain's impressive unbeaten streak. He acknowledges that Spain has forgotten how to lose, suggesting that a top performance from England will be crucial.
Tuchel believes his team is ready to win the match, despite acknowledging that no one can guarantee the outcome. England lost the reverse fixture 3-2 at Wembley in September, and Tuchel hopes for a more favorable result on Sunday, particularly if Harry Kane can score a penalty. Both teams have faced racism in the past, with England's Ashley Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips targeted in a 2004 friendly and Spain's supporters singing a discriminatory chant against Muslims in a 2021 match.
Tuchel reiterates that racism will not be tolerated and expects support for the Spanish team from the Spanish crowd.
