England’s Tuchel Aims to Break Spain’s 43-Match Unbeaten Streak in Madrid

England’s football manager, Thomas Tuchel, is confident that his team can end Spain’s impressive unbeaten streak when they meet in Madrid on Sunday. Spain has not lost in 43 matches, and a victory for England could set them up for a better position in the Nations League quarter-finals in March.

Tuchel emphasized the importance of delivering a strong performance against Spain, who he described as a team that has forgotten how to lose. He stated, “If we can deliver this performance, it will give us a big boost.” England recently secured a win against Croatia, which has boosted their morale ahead of the match.

In their last encounter, England lost to Spain 3-2 at Wembley. Tuchel noted that the outcome might have been different if Harry Kane had successfully converted a penalty that could have given England a 3-1 lead.

Tuchel also addressed the issue of racism in football, recalling incidents where England players faced abuse in Spain. He reiterated that racism will not be tolerated and expressed hope for a supportive atmosphere from Spanish fans during the match. Spain will play their next home friendly with a limited number of fans due to past discriminatory chants from supporters.

As the match approaches, Tuchel is focused on ensuring his players are prepared to face the challenges ahead and aims to test their limits on the pitch.
