Spain and Germany meet at the Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday in what is one of the biggest match-ups in international football, and there is plenty on the line.
While La Roja have started this World Cup by breaking records — racking up their biggest World Cup win in a 7-0 rout of Costa Rica that also saw Gavi become their youngest World Cup scorer — Germany are on the verge of an unwanted landmark of their own.
The four-time winners have never exited at the group stage in consecutive World Cups, but that is the prospect they face with defeat in this match, after a shock opening 2-1 loss to Japan hit their qualification hopes.
Four years on from a national embarrassment at Russia 2018, when they finished bottom of their group, Die Mannschaft must now regroup.
Spain, though, hold memories of a 6-0 thrashing of Germany in the UEFA Nations League almost two years ago to the day, and they have lost only once against the Germans in their previous seven meetings.
This match is the pick of the bunch on Sunday, as the opening week of action at the 2022 finals concludes. Here's everything you need to know to watch the action in the UK on TV or online via live stream.
