MADRID, 17 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish soccer team will once again play a match in Barcelona on March 26 (7:00 p.m.) when they face Albania in one of their two friendlies scheduled for the international break at Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium.
In this way, the national team will put an end to 18 years without being present in Barcelona, a city they have not set foot in since February 18, 2004 when they met at the Lluís Companys, the stadium where they were crowned Olympic champions in 1992, in a friendly against Peru, with Iñaki Sáez as coach and with a 2-1 victory, with goals from Joseba Etxeberria and Rubén Baraja.
In addition to this friendly, the team led by Luis Enrique Martínez will begin testing for the Qatar World Cup at the end of the year with a second against Iceland, on Tuesday, March 29 (8:45 p.m.) against Iceland at the Riazor Stadium, in A Coruna.
This will be the sixth time that the three-time European champion has played on Coruña soil, where she has not played a game since June 1, 2009, with a 5-0 win against Belgium in the qualifying phase for the World Cup in South Africa. Doubles from David Villa and David Silva and a goal from Gerard Piqué sealed the win.
