Spain Coach Hungry for Improvement Despite Record 39-Match Unbeaten Run

Spain came from behind to beat England 3-2 at Wembley. With this victory in the UEFA Nations League, they extended their unbeaten record to 39 matches. However, despite not losing so many matches in a row, Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente is not satisfied. According to him, the team can play more perfect football if they want.

No other European team has ever gone unbeaten in a single match. Spain broke Italy’s record of 37 consecutive matches unbeaten in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

La Rosa faced a tough test on their first appearance on the field after winning the World Cup for the second time. Spain took the lead early on through Lamine Yamal, but fell behind late in the first half to Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane.

However, a repeat of the Euro 2024 final was also seen at Wembley. Alex Baena first equalized for the European champions. And in the end, it was Mikael Varzabal who scored the winning goal.

“What this generation of players is achieving is extraordinary,” said Spanish coach De la Fuente after the match. “They are constantly trying to improve themselves. The statistics speak for themselves.”

He added, “What Spain is doing is not easy at all. We will go into the next match against Croatia as if it were our last. These footballers never want to stop.”

Yamal took the ball from Marc Geahi early in the match and put his team ahead. The 19-year-old winger is well on his way to winning his first Ballon d’Or next month.

De la Fuente praised Yamal, saying, “His performance was simply outstanding. We are fortunate to have such a footballer in the team. He can get the best out of himself and his teammates depending on the needs of the match.”
