(CNN Spanish) --
With the illusion of repeating the historic title won in South Africa 2010, Spain arrives at the Qatar 2022 World Cup as one of the favorites to go to the end, with a team that perhaps does not have the great figures of 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 defeating the Netherlands in the final 1-0 with a goal from Andrés Iniesta.
The "Red" achieved a comfortable qualification to Qatar after winning Group B of the European Qualifiers, in which they reaped 6 wins, a draw and only one loss.
In addition, he reached the semifinals of Euro 2021 (lost on penalties to Italy, ultimately champion) and the final of the 2021 UEFA Nations League (loss to France).
