Spain reign promises bright footballing future

Even during the magnificent years when Spain dominated international football, winning the 2008 and 2012 Euro and the 2010 World Cup, they did not quite manage to double up on the club scene, although they came close with Pep Guardiola's Barcelona winning the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.
