The Spanish team, who will visit Portugal this Wednesday in friendly match at José Alvalade, he doesn't win in Lisbon for 86 years, when, in the qualifying phase for the second World Cup, he won 1-2.
Seven days before, on March 11, 1934, the set of Amadeo García he had won 9-0 in Chamartín with five goals from Isidro Lángara. In the second leg, the Oviedo striker achieved a double to seal the last victory of the Red in the Portuguese capital, on that occasion at the Lumiar stadium, where Sporting de Portugal played and that thirty years later it was replaced by the Alvalade.
Since that March 18, 1934, Spain has not won again in Lisbon, although it has won in Portugal, in a friendly played on September 6, 2003 at the Alfonso Henriques stadium of Guimaraes. It was an exhibition of the team led by Iñaki Sáez, who won 0-3 with goals from Joeba Etxeberria, Joaquín Sánchez and Diego Tristán, and that disarmed the cadre of Luiz Felipe Scolari led by Luis Figo and Rui Costa.
That was the last Spanish victory in the Portuguese fields, where they have played twice again, in the Jose Alvalade in the last match of the group stage of the 2004 European Championship, with Portugal's victory 1-0 with so much from Nuno Gomes; and in La Luz on November 17, 2010 in a friendly in which La Roja by Vicente del BosqueThe world champion star, just hanging, came without intensity and received a severe correction 4-0.
Portugal is the rival that Spain has faced the most times, 36. The balance of the Iberian duel is clearly in his favor, with seventeen wins, fourteen draws and five defeats; 77 goals for and 39 against.
It is a long history of almost one hundred years of confrontations that began in the O'Donnell stadium in Madrid on December 18, 1921, with the Spanish triumph 3-1 (Meana and double by Paulino Alcántara) and who wrote his last chapter in Sochi, on June 15, 2018, in the group stage of the World Cup in Russia, a crazy match that ended with a three-way tie by Cristiano Ronaldo for the Portuguese team and Diego Costa's double and Nacho Fernández's target for Fernando Hierro's men.
Interestingly, Spain has not won or lost in the Iberian duel for a decade, since the last victory was 1-0 (David Villa) of the round of 16 of South Africa 2010, in which Del Bosque's team was proclaimed world champion and the last defeat in that friendly five months later in La Luz.
From there they met in the semifinal of Euro 2012, in which the penalty shoot-out, after finishing the match 0-0, favored Spain, which revalidated its continental title in Kiev, and the Russia 2018 clash.
