Current European champion. Reigning Olympic champion. Runner-up of the Nations League, in whose previous edition they had won the title. And World Cup finalist. Lamine Yamal was right when he said that if anyone should be afraid, it was France. Because of that trophy case full of successes in the last four years and because of the direct confrontations against the French team, defeated for the third consecutive time by their worst enemy. The bleu team has a handful of stars, but Spain, as a whole, intimidates, scares, and overwhelms. They have now gone 37 matches unbeaten, matching the all-time record held by Italy. Luis de la Fuente and Lamine Yamal’s team is a competitive beast that sent the 2018 champion and 2022 runner-up to third and fourth place. Luis de la Fuente’s team, which turns everything it touches into gold, is the ogre of the championship. The Spanish team dominates the international stage like no other. A stage on which they have nothing to envy anyone, neither with the ball nor without it. On the contrary.
