The Czech national football team lost 1:3 to Spain in the third match of the Nations League elite group. The reigning world champions confirmed their favourite status and extended their winning streak. Scoring for the Czech side was left-back Jiří Sláma, for whom it was both his first national team call-up and his debut goal. sport.cz ↗
Sláma started against one of the strongest opponents in world football and managed to beat the Spanish defence. However, the Czech side, despite a courageous performance, did not earn any points. Spain eased off briefly in the second half but held on to the victory. Tagesspiegel ↗
For the 24-year-old player, this is a significant moment in his career. Just a few days ago, he expected to play for Jablonec in a cup match against Dukla Prague. Instead, he found himself in the national team and played against the world champions. idnes.cz ↗
After the match, Sláma spoke of a dream come true and reminded everyone that he comes from Mikulovice. He also praised the young Spaniard Lamine Yamal, whom he described as a player on a completely different level. After the game, he waited in the mixed zone for journalists and said he had received a large number of messages. isport.cz ↗
With the defeat, the Czech team remains without a win over Spain. The next matches in the group will determine further developments, as the national team will try to make up for the loss to the world champions. sport.cz ↗
