By overpowering France (2-0) thanks to goals from Mikel Oyarzabal (22’) and Pedro Porro (58’), Spain has secured a spot in the final of the World Cup.

La Roja continues its impressive momentum by equaling Italy's all-time unbeaten streak. Indeed, Luis de la Fuente’s men are now on a run of 37 matches without defeat.

This streak began after their defeat to Colombia (0-1) in a friendly on March 22, 2024. Since then, the Spaniards haven’t lost a single game.

The Iberian side now has a chance to break the record outright in the final, where they will face either England or Argentina.
