Spain could not have hoped for a better start to the World Cup than the one they managed in their opener. Luis Enrique’s side were ruthless from start to finish, as they produced a dominant performance to start the World Cup on a high. Prior to that in the Nations League, Spain just about edged Portugal to finish atop League A Group 2 of the Nations League. Meanwhile, Germany had a poor Nations League campaign since they could only manage the third spot in League A Group 3. They carried that indifferent form into the World Cup by suffering a stunning loss in their opener.
