World Cup: Spain-Germany

Spain-Germany on the pitch at 20 LIVE for the key match of Group E of the soccer world championship underway in Qatar

Germany never imagined they'd be reliving the nightmare Russia 2018, when they were eliminated in the group stage as defending champions, but the defeat on their debut against Japan put them against the wall and now they have an obligation to beat Spain to avoid the humiliation of leaving Qatar right away.

L.Enrique "praise weakens, but Spain gives applause"

- "Historically, Spain is not a team that starts big competitions with a win, this time we managed to break that taboo. Praise makes you weaker, but it's true that it's definitely nice to prepare for the next match in these conditions."

Luis Enrique keeps his feet on the ground but does not hide the satisfaction for his Spain's debut show at the World Cup in Qatar: first match and goalscoring against Costa Rica, now the next opponent is Germany beaten by surprise by Japan.

"We started well - said the coach of the Red Furies - we dominated in all aspects of the game. I've always read that we were missing goals, but we are among the teams that score the most and these are the facts. We have many players who can score, let's reach the goal with the group.

The next match will be against Germany.

And Germany must win.

And so do we.

We want to win.

Now we celebrate the victory but head to the challenge with the Germans.

I know my players, they will play like they did today, with the same winning spirit if not more."
