England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he has personally felt the physical effects of Mexico City's high altitude as his side prepares to face Mexico. He further added that the opening 15 to 20 minutes against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca will prove to be their 'most difficult' start of the tournament.

Since making their debut at the historic venue back in 1966, the Mexican national team has suffered just two defeats in competitive fixtures at the Estadio Azteca. This record cements its status as one of the most intimidating away stadiums in global football. Over the course of 89 matches played in that stadium, Mexico has won an astonishing 70 matches and drawn 17 games.
