Thomas Tuchel explains why England are 'ready' to end Spain's unbeaten run

Tuchel says England are ready to end Spain's 43-match unbeaten run in Madrid on Sunday in a Nations League clash that could decide the group.

Thomas Tuchel believes England have the capability to end Spain's remarkable 43-match unbeaten streak when they travel to the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Sunday. England must win to have any realistic chance of topping their Nations League group, though Tuchel frames the encounter as far more significant than the standings suggest—a chance to prove they can compete with the world and European champions on their own ground.

England lost the reverse fixture 3-2 at Wembley in September, though Tuchel felt there were encouraging signs that night, particularly a missed Harry Kane penalty that could have shifted the outcome. Tuchel wants his side to replicate the attacking mindset from that match, imposing physicality and strength on Spain while capitalizing on the occasional lapses even the unbeaten side has shown.

"I think we're there, and I think we're ready to win on Sunday," Tuchel said. "It's the moment to check how far we are and to push our limit." He acknowledged no result is guaranteed but expressed confidence in England's ability to deliver a top performance and prove they have learned from the September defeat.
