(CNN Spanish) -
With the hope of repeating the historic title won in South Africa 2010, Spain arrives at the Qatar 2022 World Cup as one of the favorites to reach the end, with a team that, perhaps, does not have the great figures from previous years, but to which his coach, Luis Enrique, managed to give him a style of play that allowed him to qualify without major shocks.
It will be the sixteenth participation of Spain in the final phase of the World Cup, which they won in South Africa after beating the Netherlands in the final 1-0 with a goal from Andrés Iniesta.
The "Red" achieved a comfortable qualification for Qatar after winning Group B of the European Qualifiers, in which they had 6 wins, one draw and only one loss.
In addition, they reached the semi-finals of Euro 2021 (they fell on penalties against Italy, the eventual champion) and the final of the UEFA Nations League 2021 (defeat against France).
