Possession, pressing and patience in tight spaces define the global benchmark of combination football, built on rapid passing and brilliance between the lines. On the other side, Paraguay rely on intensity, defensive discipline and power in both boxes. Refined technique versus raw strength, patient build-up against lightning-fast transitions.
The two sides have already faced off in a World Cup quarter-final decided by a narrow 1-0, and now every ball is worth points again: in this group stage, a single mistake can completely change the road to the knockouts.
European champions and number one in the FIFA rankings, La Roja arrive backed by their 2010 World Cup title and a generation that blends experience with fearless talent: Rodri as the competitive leader, Pedri and Lamine Yamal dictating the tempo, and Nico Williams and Morata constantly threatening the opposition box.
On the other side, Paraguay return to the big stage after their historic 2010 campaign, now driven by the flair of Miguel Almirón, the talent of Julio Enciso and the energy of Sosa and Diego Gómez. Don’t just follow it on TV: grab your ticket and experience this clash of styles live.
