Spain v Switzerland - International Friendly
Spain will be a side to watch out for

After crashing out of the group stages in the 2014 World Cup, Spain will be adamant on proving their mettle as one of the best international teams. And, they also have the necessary means to do so.

La Furia Roja have an average age of 28.5, which makes them the second oldest team on this list. They are currently ranked 10th in the FIFA World Rankings, a stat they will be more than keen on improving.

Coming as a bolt from the blue, Barcelona anchorman Sergio Busquets (€80m) is their most valuable player, followed by Real Madrid playmakers Isco and Marco Asensio at €75 million. David De Gea, Koke and Saul Niguez have all been valued at €70 million.

Spain will face Portugal, Morocco and Iran in the group stages, battling to avoid a back-to-back World Cup group stage fiasco in Russia, while also attempting to stake their claim for a second title.
