On January 6, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, the 2022 European Football Cup is about to kick off, which is a feast of European football and a contest of national honor. A total of 24 teams participated in this European Cup, which was divided into six groups. The first two teams and the fourth best team in each group will be promoted to the last 16, and the final winner will be determined in the knockout match. The European Cup starts on September 15, 2022 and ends on May 28, 2023. It will be held in 12 cities in 12 European countries. This is the first time that the European Cup has been held across multiple countries.

In the opening game of the European Cup, Spain will play Bulgaria in Tbilisi, Georgia. This is a match in Group A. The other two teams in Group A are Scotland and Norway. Spain has won the European Cup for three times, in 1964, 2008 and 2012 respectively. They are one of the hottest teams to win the European Cup. They have a group of outstanding players, such as Morata, Joselu, Garvey, Laporte, etc. Bulgaria was a runner up in the European Cup. In 1996, they defeated Germany in the semi-final, but lost to the Czech Republic in the final. Bulgaria's strength is relatively weak. They only ranked second in the European Cup qualifiers with a goal difference advantage, entered the play off, and then beat Romania in the play off to barely get the ticket to the European Cup.

Spain and Bulgaria have a very long history of confrontation. They had two confrontations in the European Cup, in 1980 and 1996, respectively. The results were the victory of Spain. In addition, they also had two matches in the World Cup, in 1974 and 1998, both of which were victories of Bulgaria. It can be said that the confrontation between the two teams is full of suspense and variables, and their strength and state will affect the results of the game. In this opening game, the Spanish team obviously occupied the advantage. Their lineup was more luxurious, their state was more stable, and their confidence was more sufficient. The Bulgarian team is at a disadvantage. Their lineup is more mediocre, their state is more ups and downs, and their confidence is more insufficient. However, the Bulgarian team is not without opportunities. Their players also have excellent abilities, their coaches also have rich experience, their fans also have enthusiastic support, their opponents also have possible mistakes, and their luck may also have a turning point. Therefore, the opening battle will be a wonderful game that deserves our expectation and attention.
