March 31, 1993, does not have a special place in the Danish football fans’ memories, but today, they’ll all remember that date, World Cup qualifiers, and Flemming Povlsen’s winner, as that was the only time they managed to beat Spain. They’ve met on 15 occasions, and the Danes noted a draw, a defeat after extra time and 12 losses, apart from the aforementioned victory.A month ago in Murcia, the Spaniards barely broke the deadlock 11 minutes before the end through Martin Zubimendi for a 1-0 triumph. Tonight (22.45), they’ll be without Lamine Yamal and Pau Torres, but the captain Alvaro Morata and the experienced midfielder Fabian Ruiz will be at Luis de la Fuente’s disposal despite recent injury issues.🥶 We can confirm that what they say is true.It’s just a tad chilly here in Denmark 🛬#VamosEspaña | #NationsLeaguepic.twitter.com/IdPkRErKcy— Spanish Football (@SpainIsFootball) November 15, 2024 As for the new names, the Spanish tactician included a couple of youngsters, Barcelona’s Marc Casado and Porto’s Samu Omorodion in the squad, while Pau Cubarsi of Barca, Osasuna’s Bryan Zaragoza, and Bryan Gil of Girona were crossed out and won’t make an appearance in Copenhagen. The offensive threats, Dani Olmo – who’ll wear #10 – and Nico Williams, are there, as well as Pedri and the two “dangers from the flanks” – Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella.Laporte on Real’s interest: ‘It sounds good’Even an eventual draw would secure the top spot for La Furia, which had already qualified for the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals.
