[Saba Sports News] In the recently concluded European Championship knockout round, Spain secured a comfortable 4-1 victory over Georgia, advancing to the next round where they will face the host country, Germany. However, there have been recent media reports suggesting that Spain may continue their curse of being unable to defeat the host country in major competitions. Historical statistics reveal that Spain has never defeated the host nation in either the World Cup or the European Championship. In World Cup history, the Spanish team has played against the host four times, resulting in two draws and two losses. Similarly, in the European Championship, they have faced the host five times, securing two draws and suffering three defeats. Despite this, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez took to social media to celebrate the Spanish team. He wrote, “Unstoppable Spanish team! The entire nation stands with you as you advance to the quarter-finals!” The editor believes that football outcomes are unpredictable, and the Spanish team will have the opportunity to challenge and break this record in the future.
