Coach cautious after record run makes Spain WC favourites

Gulf Today

November 18, 2025

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente is keeping his feet on the ground despite the scintillating form that has made his team favourites for the 2026 World Cup and established a new national record for consecutive games without defeat.

The world's top-ranked team extended their unbeaten streak to 30 matches with Saturday's 4-0 victory over Georgia, surpassing the 29-game record previously held by Vicente del Bosque’s golden generation between 2010 and 2013.

Spain's run includes a perfect European Championship campaign where they won all seven games to claim a record fourth title in Germany last year.
