After a 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica on Wednesday marked Spain’s biggest-ever World Cup victory and the first time they have won their opening match in the competition since 2006, Luis Enrique’s side now face Germany in Group E’s blockbuster dead heat. The Spanish coach’s endeavors haven’t gone unnoticed either, with Manchester United reportedly the latest vying for his signature.
All eyes will be on the wonderkids here and Spanish midfielder Gavi became the youngest World Cup goal scorer since Pele in 1958 after his strike against Costa Rica. He’ll be fighting for the limelight with German wunderkind; Jamal Musiala, who is looking to transfer his domestic form to the biggest stage after making the fifth-most goal involvement in Europe’s top five leagues (16) this campaign.
Spain limited Costa Rica to zero shots last time out, in what was just the second occasion this has happened in a World Cup match since 1966 after Costa Rica themselves in 1990.
Miroslav Klose holds the record for the most World Cup goals with a total of 16 for Germany over four tournament appearances (2002-2014)
Who wins tonight, Spain or Germany?
