Decisive duel on Sunday
Exactly Spain. The German national team must win against the feared opponent and long-time rival on Sunday (8 p.m. / ZDF and Magenta TV) in the Al Bait Stadium in order to still have a realistic chance of making it into the World Cup round of 16 in Qatar. The statistics against the 2010 world champion and three-time European champion are not very edifying. The Iberians are the only big football nation against which the DFB selection could not win a competitive game in this millennium. The last victory was even more than 34 years ago. At the home European Championships in 1988, Rudi Völler scored twice in the group stage in a 2-0 win at the Munich Olympic Stadium.
This is how the tournament games between Germany and Spain have been going since 1966
