‘No one is unbeatable’: Tuchel eager for England to impose style on Spain

Thomas Tuchel says England must impose their style on Spain in Sunday’s Nations League match, which he describes as a final and a test of his team’s progress. A win would secure top spot in the group and give England a chance to measure their evolving approach against the world and European champions as preparations for Euro 2028 gather pace.

England beat Croatia 2-1 at Wembley to keep the group lead within reach; their superior goal difference means victory in Madrid would be enough. Spain have lost only once in 43 matches, on penalties, and have won 12 in a row since drawing with Cape Verde. Tuchel has refreshed his squad, with 11 players from the World Cup involved against Croatia, and is encouraging more fluid movement, including greater freedom for Jude Bellingham and the full-backs.
