Friendly against Portugal: called, time and how to view television

On Wednesday the Spanish team played a friendly against Portuguese team that will support the joint bid of the two countries to celebrate World Cup Iberia 2018. The match was played at the Estádio da Luz, Benfica's home field, and we see it from starting at 22:00 h in La 1 TVE and rtve.es.

The party has the curiosity to see many players face to face Real Madrid rivals. Luso-side: Pepe, Carvalho and Crisitano, in the Spanish side: Casillas, Ramos, Albiol, Alonso and Arbeloa. The Portuguese took the match with a point of rivalry because we eliminated in the second round of the World Cup. In this sense the Spanish might even think the same thing already happened in visits to Mexico and Argentina, which for us is just a friendly, for our opponents is an opportunity or painted to earn some points to defeat the world champions.
