The Spanish national team continues to hold its position in world football, topping the FIFA rankings. Head coach Luis de la Fuente emphasizes that he has the strongest players at his disposal, with fans looking optimistically to the future and dreaming of new titles.
The team demonstrates confident play, as evidenced not only by results but also by recognition from rivals. After a 2-0 victory over Georgia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Georgian head coach Willy Sagnol praised the high level of preparation of the Spanish players. According to him, Spain has been developing players with outstanding football qualities for decades, allowing the team to maintain stability even in the absence of key figures.
In the match against Georgia, Spain played without several key players, including Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Rodri, Dani Carvajal, Dani Olmo, Fermín López, and Pau Cubarsí. Despite this, the team maintained their quality of play, once again proving the depth of the squad and the high level of preparation.
Georgia’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is well acquainted with Spanish football, admitted that it is extremely difficult to play against Spain. In his opinion, the team excels at ball control and creates many dangerous chances, while midfielder Pedri stands out for his ability to find unconventional solutions on the field.
Luis de la Fuente’s work has also been highly praised by Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni. He noted that the Spanish team plays a brand of football that appeals not only to fans but also to experts. In his opinion, Spain is among the strongest national teams in the world.
French coach Didier Deschamps, who has faced Spain multiple times in major tournaments, also singled them out as one of the most balanced and competitive teams. He emphasized that Spain traditionally controls the flow of the game, and in recent years, has added speed and precision to their attack.
The Spanish national team continues to develop its style, combining traditional ball control with new tactical approaches. This allows the team to stay at the top of world football and reaffirm its status in every match.
