Before our national team's match against Spain tonight, the Spanish press headlined, "There's a party tonight."
The Spanish press does not see the critical match against Turkey as a "prestige struggle." For Spain, which will take the field to break records, this match feels like a final.
THE TURKEY MATCH IN SPAIN IS NOT A "FORMALITY"
Our national team will face the world giant Spain this evening, while the motivation on the opponent's side is at its peak before the match. The Spanish press has adorned its headlines with the phrases "There is a party tonight!" turning the match into a celebration. The Spanish National Team has the opportunity to make history against Turkey.
HISTORICAL SERIES GOAL
If the red-yellows win this match, they can reach a 31-match unbeaten streak and become the second team in history to achieve this. This record previously belonged to Roberto Mancini's Italy, which won the European Championship.
THEY HAVE NEVER LOST AT HOME IN QUALIFYING MATCHES
Spain is the only national team that has never lost at home in qualifying matches on the road to the World Cup. It is aimed to continue this record, which has lasted for 63 matches, against Turkey as well. Continuing this streak until 2033 is of great importance for Spain, which will be one of the hosts of 2030, to enter the qualifiers in a prestigious manner.
509 MINUTES OF NOT CONCEDING A GOAL
The match against Turkey also offers Spain the opportunity to extend its defensive record. The team that has built a wall against opposing goals has not conceded a goal for 509 minutes and aims to finish the qualifying group without conceding any goals.
NEW JERSEY WILL BE WORN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MATCH
Spain will take the field in its new red-blue jersey against Turkey. The predominantly white second kit will be introduced in the Finalissima match against Argentina on March 27. While the Spanish press sees the Turkey match as a "celebration night," our national team will enter the field for a highly competitive match. The reaction Turkey will give is a matter of curiosity.
