One Coach, Complete Team: How De la Fuente Restored Spain to the Top
The Spanish national team was crowned with the title of the 2026 World Cup for the second time in its history, after defeating its Argentine counterpart by a goal to none following extra time in the final match held at MetLife Stadium, repeating the achievement of the 2010 World Cup and bringing the global trophy back to the Spanish football treasury after 16 years.
Coach Luis de la Fuente succeeded in building a complete team that combined offensive enjoyment with defensive discipline, presenting one of the most prominent technical performances in the tournament, relying on a possession style, high pressing, and quick transitions, along with a solid defensive organization that made "La Roja" the strongest defensive team in the World Cup.
The crowning of Spain came after a strong final match against Argentina, decided in the second extra time by a goal scored by Ferran Torres, granting his country its second global title in history, after the Spanish defense held firm against the attempts of the defending champion, keeping a clean sheet for the sixth match in the tournament.
The Spanish national team concluded its World Cup journey with impressive numbers, having scored 13 goals, while only conceding one goal throughout the tournament, a tally that reflects the great balance that de la Fuente created between offensive effectiveness and defensive solidity, leading his country to rightfully and deservedly claim the throne of the world.
