Norway are good playing in international tournaments but they have only one appearance in the UEFA Euro during the 2000 edition. Also the Norwegians have never won a World Cup before.

But it is indisputable that Norway is a factory of top players, among them is Erling Haaland who is considered the best player in the Premier League and he could break the records of Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

Against Spain the record is negative, the Norwegians have only one win in eight games against the Spanish, five losses and two draws.
