Spain takes 38-game unbeaten run to Wembley to face England
Spain arrives at Wembley with an extraordinary 38-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Spain's world and European champions begin their Nations League campaign at Wembley against England with an extraordinary 38-game unbeaten run. The blockbuster clash marks their first competitive fixture since beating Argentina in July's World Cup final.
In that triumph, Spain simultaneously held both the World Cup and European Championship for the first time since their golden era of 2008 to 2012. Midfielder Fabian Ruiz told Spanish media the dressing room refuses to rest on that success.
"The manager has already told us that the past is forgotten; it's history, and that's wonderful, but now it's time to focus on the present," the Paris Saint-Germain player said. Ruiz warned that winning again is harder than winning once.
Spain's history at Wembley is strong, having beaten England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final.
