Spain is crowned World Champion for the second time in its history

The Spanish national team has just made history not only in the world of football, but of sport. Spain has just defeated Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, held in New York. With this triumph, the Spanish national team adds another World Cup to its record, after the one achieved in 2010, thus weaving the second star on the Spanish national team's crest, which accredits us as two-time world champions, equaling in World Cup titles national teams such as France or Uruguay.

This generation of footballers has achieved a historic milestone. They have won the World Cup undefeated, a very difficult achievement to accomplish, since it is the most demanding competition in the world, and not losing a single match in the tournament is a tremendous merit. In addition, this victory has also served to surpass the record of a national team with the most matches without losing, which Italy held with 37, but now, the record has passed to Spain with 38 consecutive matches without losing. It has been a titanic World Cup on the part of the Spaniards, who have only conceded (before the final, Spain had only conceded one goal in the quarterfinals against Belgium), also a historic feat.

As at the beginning of this century, with the generation of Iniesta, Villa, Sergio Ramos, Casillas, Xavi etc, this current national team has managed to be crowned as European champion in 2024, and two years later, has managed to reach the top of the world, winning the 2026 World Cup. This generation of young footballers has already entered the history books of our sport, as did that golden generation of the beginning of the century.

In addition, they have managed to overcome an entire Argentina which was defending the title of world champions, and on top of that, it was Leo Messi's last match in the history of World Cups. The Argentinians' tournament is also to be applauded, as repeating a final two World Cups in a row is very complicated, however this cup is on its way to Spain.

After this, this list of Spanish players who make up the team coached by Luis de la Fuente, who have made history, and want to continue doing so to put Spain on the map of the best national teams in history, will never be forgotten. Now it's time to bring the cup home and celebrate it in style, since winning this competition is a triumph of enormous magnitude, and we hope that although it is not known if we will see it again, so we must enjoy this victory to the fullest.
