Iniesta admits that the pain of losing to Russia at the 2018 World Cup is gone

Former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Andrés Iniesta spoke out about the painful defeat at the 2018 World Cup against Russia, and noted that one must learn to accept such moments.

In 2018, the Russian national team defeated Spain in the 1/8 finals match. The main time of the match ended in a draw - 1:1, and in the penalty shootout the tournament hosts turned out to be stronger - 4:3.

Do I still feel bad about losing the match against Russia? No, not anymore, haha. The pain is gone. Actually, it was a very difficult moment, but such things happen and will happen. In a sense, you just have to accept it, and that's it.

November 20, 2022 FIFA World Cup starts in Qatar with the home team's match against Ecuador. The game will take place at 4 p.m. GMT. The teams from 32 countries will play in the group stage of the World Cup, and the tournament will end with the final match in Lusail on December 18.
