Spain has updated the historical record of world football

The Spanish national team increased their unique series without defeat in official tournaments to 39 meetings. In the opening match of the group stage of the League of Nations (League A), the wards of Luis de la Fuente defeated the England national team with a score of 3: 2. The match took place in London at Wembley Arena.
The last defeat of the Spaniards in the main time of the official match dates back to March 2023. Then in the second round of qualifying for the European Championship - 2024, they lost to Scotland with a score of 0: 2.
Thus, the players from Spain set a new world record for the number of official matches in a row without failure. It is worth noting that the previous highest achievement they themselves updated last summer, winning the World Cup final (the series was 38 matches). Prior to this historical indicator, the best was the achievement of the Italians: from September 2018 to October 2021, the Italian national team played 37 games without a single loss.
It should be added that for the coach of the team Luis de la Fuente, this match was the 51st at the helm of the national team. Under his leadership, the Spaniards achieved 41 victories, seven times separated from their rivals in peace and suffered three defeats. In addition to the above-mentioned meeting with Scotland, this number included a control match with Colombia in 2024 (0: 1), as well as the decisive match for the UEFA Nations League title - 2025 against Portugal, where after a 2-2 draw, a failure in the penalty shootout was recorded
