The Barcelona midfielder is the last survivor of the 2010 winners. In addition, 20 of the 26 Spanish players will play in their first World Cup.
Spain can take off
After Germany’s first loss to Japan, Spain could already take the lead in Group E by beating Costa Rica.

The PSG goalkeeper is in a Costa Rican cage behind a four-man defense made up of Carlos Martinez, Francisco Calvo and Oscar Duarte. Celso Borges and Joel Campbell make up the attack, with forward Anthony Contreras.
Spanish eleven with a surprise
For his entry into this World Cup, Luis Enrique built his classic 4-3-3 formation with a defensive surprise. Indeed, Rodri develops not in the center, but in the center of defense along with Laporte. Ferran Torres, Asensio and Olmo will alternate in attack.
