Spain’s Unbreakable Defence Rewrites World Cup History on Road to Potential Glory
Spain’s World Cup challenge in 2026 is built on a historic, record-breaking defence, a stark contrast to their 2010 ‘tiki-taka’ attacking triumph. Under coach Luis de la Fuente, they are the only team to reach the quarter-finals without conceding a goal, setting a new tournament record of six consecutive clean sheets.
Goalkeeper Unai Simon has extended his remarkable clean sheet streak to over 600 minutes, supported by a committed backline and the influential Rodri in midfield, highlighting a collective effort praised by experts as they eye a second World Cup title.
