Spain's National Football Team Eyes Record as 28-Match Unbeaten Streak Continues

Under the leadership of coach Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish national football team has embarked on an impressive 28-match unbeaten streak, setting sights to surpass Vicente del Bosque's historic record of 29 matches. The team recently secured a robust 2-0 win over Georgia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, following commanding victories against Bulgaria (3-0) and Turkey (6-0). This latest win underscores Spain’s sustained dominance and adaptability despite key injury setbacks.

Spain’s squad blends youthful talent with seasoned players, a strategy praised by de la Fuente as both a source of pride and a foundation for continued success. Noteworthy absences due to injury include veterans Aymeric Laporte (31) and Rodrigo (29), alongside emerging talents Lamine Yamal (18) and Nico Williams (22). Yet, the team has managed to maintain its characteristic style, focusing on ball possession and vertical play, with younger players like Yeremy Pino and Ferran Torres stepping up to fill gaps effectively.

De la Fuente emphasized the importance of this balance, stating, “Fortunately, we have a great youth system with talented footballers and a lot of future. It’s a source of pride, not concern.” Supporting this praise, Georgia’s coach Willy Sagnol commented on Spain’s superior performance: "When Spain reaches this level, you have no options."

Despite changes precipitated by injuries, the team’s core identity and tactical verticality remain intact. De la Fuente continues to manage player dynamics carefully, including addressing controversies such as Lamine Yamal’s social media activity during recovery, ensuring the squad’s focus and unity.

With the next match approaching, the Spanish team stands on the brink of equaling and potentially breaking a long-standing unbeaten record, highlighting the depth and resilience of Spain's football talent under de la Fuente’s guidance.
