De la Fuente insists Spain are 'not stopping here' amid 43-game unbeaten run
Spain will put their record unbeaten run to the test again as they welcome England to Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the Nations League.
La Roja are unbeaten in their last 43 games across all competitions (not including penalty shoot-outs), the longest-ever run by a European nation.
Along with winning the World Cup in the summer, Spain have maintained their 100% record in the Nations League ahead of their final group game against England (W5).
Spain have also won each of their last 12 games in all competitions since drawing 0-0 with Cape Verde in their 2026 World Cup opener.
Among European nations, only Spain in June 2009 (15), France in February 2004 (14), Italy in July 2021 (13) and Scotland in March 1885 (13) have enjoyed longer winning runs.
"I think they've already set a record. We'll see in the future if anyone surpasses these records," said De la Fuente.
"But to this day, they're the team with the longest unbeaten streak. But we're not stopping here; we want to keep improving and breaking other records.
"This team has a lot of ambition. And we have one key ambition: every match we face is like our last.
"We want to keep improving because there's so much room for improvement."
Spain have won seven of their last 10 matches against England (D1 L2), including the most recent two: 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final and 3-2 in the Nations League at Wembley in September.
Since England beat Spain at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in October 2018, Spain have lost just one of 40 home matches in all competitions (W31 D8), a 2-1 defeat to Switzerland in September 2022.
Spain are unbeaten in their last 22 games in Madrid (W17 D5) since England won 4-2 in February 1987, thanks to four Gary Lineker goals at the Estadio Bernabeu.
"France, England, Portugal... there's very little difference. Anyone can beat you in a single match," added De la Fuente.
"We're both at the top of world football. This is our best moment in a long time.
"I think we're first and third in the FIFA rankings. The English football model... I prefer the Spanish one. It's very recognisable; the players are perfectly adapted.
"I think the English model is very good, but you need that type of player. England can't play like Spain, nor Spain like England."
