Spain conquers Wembley and extends its historic unbeaten streak
On a vibrant night in London, the Spanish national football team achieved an epic comeback by winning 3-2 against England, consolidating its position as leader of its group in the UEFA Nations League. The match, played at the legendary Wembley Stadium, demonstrated the resilience of the team led by Luis de la Fuente.
The match began with maximum intensity, as just two minutes in, Lamine Yamal put the Spanish team in the lead. However, England managed to turn the score around, making it 2-1. The critical moment of the match came when the English captain, Harry Kane, missed a penalty that could have sealed the fate of La Roja.
The team’s ability to react was key. After England’s mistake, we knew how to read the game and capitalize on the necessary opportunities to turn the result around.
Taking advantage of the emotional momentum, Spain sealed the definitive comeback thanks to goals from Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal, securing three vital points away from home.
39 matches without knowing defeat
Beyond the Nations League victory, this result is historic for world football. Spain has reached 39 consecutive matches without a defeat, setting a new all-time record for a national team. With this milestone, they surpass the mark of 37 matches held by Italy from the period between 2018 and 2021.
- Spain broke Italy’s 37-game unbeaten streak.
- The Spanish team’s last defeat occurred on March 22, 2024, against Colombia.
- The triumph against England marks Spain’s third historic victory at Wembley, following those achieved in 1981 and 2018.
Key data from a record template
Individual performance has also been fundamental in this streak. Midfielder Fabián Ruiz has now accumulated 51 consecutive international matches without a loss since his debut in June 2019. On the other hand, the all-time record in international football remains in the hands of Carlos Marchena, who reached 57 matches without knowing defeat.
With this victory, Spain not only starts its journey in the European competition on the right foot, but also reaffirms its position as one of the most solid and consistent powerhouses in current international football.
