Kane comes nearby, but three lions struggle in sunny Barcelona

The UK struggled against Andorra in Barcelona for the one-sided, yet predictable majority of 30 minutes.

The three Lions had almost all of the balls on the hot and sticky days of Catalonia, but did little to do that despite attacking players on the field.

That was proven as Tuchel’s lineup included only three perceived advocates who took note of the fact that his side was owned by the boss.

But that was rarely tested by home goalkeeper Iker Alvarez.

Alvarez denies Bellingham and Madueke

He got caught up in the action in the first minute, getting his body behind a snapshot of Jude Bellingham, but then, until 13 minutes, seeing his defense deal with England’s advance, a vibrant Noni Madue latched into a loose ball at the edge of the area, cracking in the efforts of Alvarez being cut down.

It was 18 minutes later that the nearest England came.

Madueke found a space on the left, and his cross chose Harry Kane, only for the Ball to pass through the English captain’s feet.

Curtis Jones recycled the ball and pulled it back for Kane, but he could only fire a big shot.
