The Roja encountered no problems in the qualifying tournament and confidently topped their group, outpacing Scotland by four points. In eight matches, the Spaniards suffered only one defeat, securing victories in the remaining seven matches.
The coaching staff of the Spanish national team decided not to burden their charges with friendly matches against strong opponents. In preparation for the European Championship, “La Furia Roja” will exclusively face weaker opponents. In their first match last Wednesday, the Spanish national team defeated Andorra, representing a dwarf state, with a score of 5-0. However, in the spring, the Spanish national team drew with Brazil (3-3) and lost to Colombia (1-2)
Under the guidance of Michael O’Neill, the team failed to qualify for the European Championship. In their qualifying group, the Northern Ireland national team finished fifth, trailing behind Denmark, Slovenia, Finland, and Kazakhstan. Out of 10 matches, Northern Ireland won only three, losing the rest.
Michael O’Neill’s team begins its preparation with a match against Spain. The coaching staff views the next two friendly matches as part of the preparation for the upcoming UEFA Nations League, which kicks off in the fall. This year, Northern Ireland has played two friendly games, drawing with Romania (1-1) and defeating Scotland (1-0).
