Luis de la Fuente’s last list before the team he decides to take to the Euro Cup in Germany this summer, for the next two friendlies, includes as the main novelty the Barcelona center back Pau Cubarsí, who has just turned 17 years old and who He has participated in 12 games (918 minutes) with the first team: nine in the League, two in the Copa del Rey and one in the Champions League, on Tuesday against Naples, a match in which he was chosen MVP. It also debuts in a call for the absolute Vivian, and Baena, Sarabia, Pedro Porro and Laporte return, absent the last time due to a domestic mishap.
Spain has two friendly matches ahead of it, the last ones against rivals of some weight before the Euro Cup. On Friday, March 22, they play against Colombia (9:30 p.m., La1) at the London Stadium, the former Olympic stadium for the 2012 Games, now home to West Ham. Four days later, on Tuesday, March 26, they host Brazil at the Santiago Bernabéu (9:30 p.m., La1). After these matches, they will only face Andorra and Ireland before competing in the tournament in Germany, which opens on June 15 against Croatia.
The match against Brazil is a match against racism planned in June last year after the racist attacks suffered by Vinicius, which reached their most serious point in Mestalla. Under the motto “One Skin”, the idea was launched by the presidents of the Spanish and Brazilian federations at the time, Luis Rubiales and Ednaldo Rodrigues, neither of whom are still in office. Rubiales resigned in September, when FIFA had already suspended him from his duties after the episode of the kiss with Jenni Hermoso after the World Cup final in Australia. Rodrigues was dismissed in December by a court in Rio de Janeiro, which annulled the elections that had brought him to office in 2022.
