The Spanish national team recorded another success in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Luis de la Fuente’s men hosted Bulgaria and confidently won 4–0.
This victory is significant for Spain, as the team extended its unbeaten streak to 29 matches — the longest in the national team’s history. The record (24 wins and 5 draws) was first achieved under Vicente del Bosque between 2010 and 2013.
In recent years, Spain has shown a return to its traditional style. The technical, possession-based “tiki-taka” has regained its strength. The team controls play in attack, while the younger generation signals the rise of a new era.
In the match, Barcelona midfielder Pedri became the key figure in the center of the field. His movements, ball control, and ability to anticipate situations were highly praised by fans and analysts.
After the game, Spain’s head coach Luis de la Fuente shared his thoughts on the record. He emphasized that this success is not personal but the result of collective effort:
— Pedri is an exceptional player! He sees opportunities that others don’t. We have equaled the Spanish team’s record, but this is not my achievement — it’s the players’. They gave their all. We won’t stop here — we’re aiming for even greater goals, — said de la Fuente.
The coach’s remarks sparked wide discussion in Spain. In recent years, the national team has become one of Europe’s most consistent and structured sides. Their playing style stands out not only for results but also for elegance.
Fans believe that in this form and spirit, Spain could be among the main favorites for the World Cup. Young talents — Pedri, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, and Rodri — are injecting new energy into the squad on the big stage.
Thus, Spain not only broke its own record but also reinforced its position as one of Europe’s leaders. For them, this looks like only the beginning — ahead lie bigger challenges and new historic triumphs.
