MADRID, 23 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish women's soccer team faces the Netherlands this Friday at the La Cartuja Stadium in Seville (9:00 p.m./La 1) in the semifinal of the 2023-2024 Nations League, a match that, in addition to putting at stake Going to the final of the new competition will grant the winner an almost more valuable prize, such as qualification for the Paris Olympic Games.
Spain has never been to an Olympic event in its history and is preparing to try to break down another barrier as it did last summer when it brilliantly proclaimed itself world champion at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. On the way to that milestone, the 'Roja', now directed by Montse Tomé, precisely left their rival tonight on the road, whom they beat in a thrilling quarter-final match 2-1, with a goal from Salma Paralluelo when it almost seemed that everything would be decided on penalties.
Now, half a year after the feat achieved in Sydney, the national team, with Alexia Putellas and Tere Abelleira ruled out, also intends to assert its local status against the Netherlands that got into this 'Final Four' after a goal in Damaris Egurrola's last breath against Belgium, which gave her the ticket for the overall goal-average ahead of England. The other semi-final will be played at the same time in Lyon by France and Germany, and in the event of a victory for the French, the clash for third and fourth place will also grant an Olympic ticket.
