Anthony Gordon says Spain are not stronger than England

Anthony Gordon does not believe Spain are a stronger footballing side than England. The England international has made his position clear in a direct comparison between the two national teams, placing England at least on the same level as Spain.

Gordon, 25, is listed as a left winger and currently plays for FC Barcelona. He holds both English and Scottish citizenship. His assessment comes while he is associated with a club in Spain, adding a personal connection to the comparison between the countries, although no match result or tournament context has been provided.

His recorded transfer path began with Preston and Everton, before he moved from Everton to Newcastle in the 2022/23 season for €45.60 million. A further move from Newcastle to Barcelona is listed for 2026/27 at €80 million. Gordon’s market value is recorded at €65 million, with that valuation attached to Newcastle United. His listed medical history includes a hip injury and thigh problems.

The available information does not include a table position, recent form sequence or a specific fixture linked to his view. The immediate story is therefore Gordon’s assessment of the relative strength of Spain and England, rather than a result or a change in league standings.
