Spain and Finland have already announced the starting teams that will face off starting at 6:00 pm (La1) in the opening of Group B of the European Championship in England.
For the Spaniards, the entry of the midfielder is unique Irene Guerrero (Atletico de Madrid) for the injured Alexia Putellas (Barca).
Spain: Clothing; Batlle, Paredes, Leon, Leila; Pebble, Bonmatí, Caldentey; Lucía García, Esther and Athenea del Castillo.
Finland: Korpela; Hyyrynen, Westerlund, Pikkujämsä, Koivisto; Engman, Summanen, Alanen, Öling; Sällström and Franssi.
Referee: Kateryna Monzul (Ukraine).
Vilda’s are clear favorites against the Finns and all non-wins will be seen as a serious setback. Then come the clashes against Germany, eight -time European Championship champions in its twelve editions, and Denmark by Nadia Nadim and Pernille Harder, two real ‘bones’.
The debut will have a noticeable public presence: so far nearly 20,000 seats have been sold at one stadium, Milton Keynes Stadium, with a capacity for 30,500 spectators. Definitely good atmosphere.
The best players on the planet are not there, but proper names like Aitana Bonmatí, Patri Guijarro or Mapi León will take over, seeking to defend Spain in the conquest of their first international title. None of us have yet won at the highest level in women’s football, but their history in the lower categories and Barça’s powerful role in the Champions League as current runners-up endorses this team to go for all this and came to the tournament unbeaten – in fact, they have not lost since March 2020 and have already secured tickets to the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023-.
