Unstoppable! Spain Equals Its Best Unbeaten Run and Chases Italy’s Record
The Spanish National Team is living a historic moment — 29 straight official matches without defeat and just steps away from matching Italy’s European record.
A Victory That Enters the History Books
In Valladolid, the Spanish National Team extended its perfect record at the José Zorrilla Stadium with a dominant 4–0 win over Bulgaria, reaching a legendary milestone: 29 official matches unbeaten. With that result, Luis de la Fuente’s side equaled the run achieved by Vicente del Bosque’s historic squad between 2010 and 2013, when Spain conquered both a World Cup and a European Championship.
That golden era featured icons like Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and Casillas, symbols of total dominance. Today, the new generation led by De la Fuente keeps that competitive spirit alive, blending experience and youth to rekindle a nation’s belief.
From Doubt to Total Dominance
Since their defeat against Scotland in March 2023, Spain hasn’t lost a single official match. During that stretch, La Roja has earned 15 qualifying wins and lifted two trophies that mark their rebirth: the 2023 Nations League and the 2024 European Championship.
What began amid criticism and uncertainty has evolved into a powerful, attacking machine. Rodri, Laporte, Carvajal, and Morata provide leadership and balance, while Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Pedri represent the future — full of flair, confidence, and hunger for glory.
Georgia: The Next Step Toward the Record
On November 15 in Tbilisi, Spain will face Georgia with one clear objective: to reach 30 straight matches without defeat and move within one of Italy’s all-time European record of 31. If successful, the chance to tie that mark could come in Seville, where La Roja would have the opportunity to make history in front of their fans.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Spain combines efficiency, identity, and a more vertical style that still honors the tiki-taka legacy. The message is clear: this team has no limits — and it’s ready to write the next golden chapter.
