ARLINGTON, Texas — Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said his team is “feeling unbeatable” after reaching the World Cup final with a 2-0 win over France.
World Cup 2026
Mikel Oyarzabal’s first-half penalty and a second goal from Pedro Perro after half-time earned Spain a well-deserved victory in their semifinal at Dallas Stadium on Tuesday.
And afterwards, De la Fuente issued a warning to their opponents in the final — either Argentina or England — by insisting his players will line up in New York on Sunday full of confidence after such a dominant display against the pre-tournament favourites.
“We’re feeling unbeatable,” De La Fuente told a news conference.

“They (France) faced the best team in the world. We have that edge. These players deserve everything because day after day, they demonstrate their commitment, their generosity, their solidarity, and their talent.
“It is wonderful to watch them play. Today was a spectacle. What seems difficult, this team makes it look easy.”
The victory extends Spain’s unbeaten run to 37 matches, tying the record set by a European nation in men’s international football (Italy, 2018-21).
Tournament Impact
Spain got their World Cup campaign off to an underwhelming start with a shock goalless draw with Cape Verde in their opening group game.
But in the knockout rounds, they’ve beaten Portugal, Belgium and France while conceding just one goal and De La Fuente said his team have found their best level at the perfect time.
“We knew we had to improve little by little,” he said.
