Spain conquers Wembley: Epic comeback and historic record
The Spanish national football team has left an indelible mark at Wembley. In a vibrant duel for the UEFA Nations League, the team led by Luis de la Fuente achieved a spectacular 2-3 victory against England, positioning themselves from the start as the leader of their group.
The match began with a frantic pace. Barely two minutes had passed when Lamine Yamal put “La Roja” in the lead. However, England showed their class by turning the score around to make it 2-1. The critical moment for the hosts came when Harry Kane missed a penalty, a golden opportunity that kept the Spaniards alive.
Spain did not waste the momentum and, thanks to the precision of Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal, completed a historic comeback on British soil.
39 matches without knowing defeat
Beyond the three points, the victory in London has a special meaning: Spain reached the figure of 39 consecutive matches without losing, setting a new historical record for a national team. With this result, the Spanish team surpasses the mark of 37 matches held by Italy since the 2018-2021 period.
- Last defeat: March 22, 2024 (0-1 against Colombia).
- Fabián Ruiz: Has gone 51 matches undefeated with the senior team since his debut in 2019.
- Milestone at Wembley: This is the third time Spain has managed to win at this iconic stadium, joining the victories of 1981 and 2018.
The winning mentality of this group is what allows us to remain undefeated and continue making history in world football.
