Spain's dominance in football continues to astound, even after extending their unbeaten streak to 39 games, according to their coach Luis de la Fuente. Despite coming from behind to defeat England 3-2 at Wembley, the European champions demonstrated their unwavering hunger for improvement. England struck first with Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scoring in the first half, putting the Three Lions ahead.
However, Spain swiftly responded with Alex Baena leveling the score and Mikel Oyarzabal sealing the victory with a winner. This performance echoes Oyarzabal's goals from the Euro 2024 final. De la Fuente praised the generation of players, noting their constant pursuit of betterment. The team's statistics speak volumes, with Spain facing the next challenge against Croatia with a mindset as if it were their last match.
The 19-year-old Lamine Yamal, who recently set his sights on winning the Ballon d'Or, was instrumental in the win, showcasing exemplary performance that the coach described as a blessing.
