Today's International will be the fifth meeting between England and Spain on the soccer field, and the first time Spain has ever appeared at Wembley. Of the previous four encounters, Spain has won two-including the match in Rio de Janeiro in the World Cup Series-and drawn one. England's only success was a 7-1 victory at Highbury as long ago as 1931.
