Spain's last game in 2020, the year the national team is celebrating its centenary, was perhaps the best in its history.
This November 17 will be remembered forever as the date of 6-0 to Germany at La Cartuja, La Roja's 416th victory in 711 international matches.
A day full of records for Luis Enrique's men.
From champion to champion
For the third time in history, Spain unceremoniously beat another world champion.
So far, their biggest win was 6-1 against Argentina in a friendly played on March 27, 2018 at the Metropolitano, with
Julen Lopetegui
on the bench and a treble by
Isco Alarcón
.
The best official victory went back to the final of Euro 2012. On July 1, the team led by
Vicente del Bosque
swept Italy 4-0 at the Kiev Olympics to close the triumphal cycle that began four years earlier in Vienna.
Ferran torres
The Manchester City winger was perhaps the main protagonist of the night in Seville.
At 20 years and 262 days old, he became the first soccer player in the national team to convert a hat-trick to Germany.
Throughout the 21st century, only
Michael Owen
with England and
Sergio Conceiçao
with Portugal had signed a similar feat.
In addition, the Valencia youth squad becomes the second youngest player to sign a hat-trick with La Roja, only behind
Juan Errazquin
.
On June 1, 1925, at just 18 years and 344 days old, the Real Union forward scored three goals against Switzerland in Bern (0-3).
German shame
Joachim Löw
, world champion in 2014, will also be remembered for this very hard blow, given that Germany did not lose by five goals difference since that legendary 8-3 against Hungary in the 1954 World Cup. The only adverse 6-0 of the
Nationalmannschaft
was It went back to May 24, 1931 against Austria, one of the great dominators of the European scene in the interwar period.
The six goals are also an unusual event in
Manuel Neuer's
professional career
.
The 34-year-old captain had never conceded so many goals, not in his 602 games with Bayern and Schalke, not in his 96 with his team.
End the drought
The great problem of Spain in recent times was based on the success of the auctioneer.
However, in just 90 minutes he surpassed the global balance of the last five games (Portugal, Switzerland, Ukraine, the Netherlands and Switzerland), when he could barely score three goals.
On this occasion, 69.7% possession resulted in 23 shots, 10 of them on target, six impossible for Neuer.
In the individual aspect, in addition to
Ferran Torres
, with seven shots, four of them well oriented,
Álvaro Morata
highlighted
, adding two dribbles and four fouls received to his goal.
Also upside down
The average height of those summoned by Luis Enrique exceeded 183 centimeters.
That factor, added to the precision of
Fabián Ruiz
in the set pieces, also threw a revealing data.
The Napoli midfielder assisted Morata and
Rodri
, leading Spain to score two header goals from a corner, something that had not happened since June 2, 2001, during a 4-1 game against Bosnia in Oviedo.
