Spain reaffirms its global standing in Nations League debut

In their debut in the Nations League, the Spanish national team played at Wembley and made clear that the credit of world champions must be renewed match by match, a lesson that was manifested in the victory driven by the goals of Lamine, Baena and Oyarzabal.

Wembley is not New Jersey, nor is England Argentina. The match unfolded on a strange night, without caviar football and with certain defensive lapses, but La Roja displayed an unshakable faith that has taken it to the top of the pyramid.

Spanish fans celebrated with “olé” in the stands, savoring these days of wine and roses that the victory has gifted them.
