World Cup winner Spain absolutely crushed Croatia 4-1 at home on Tuesday, racking up their 40th consecutive match without a loss! Lamine Yamal was on fire, leading the charge with two goals and an assist in their Nations League showdown. This was their first game back home since snatching that second world title in July, and the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville was absolutely rocking as captain Rodri lifted the World Cup trophy pre-game. What a scene!
Yamal Just Keeps Balling Out For La Roja
Yamal didn’t waste any time, scoring just two minutes into the match! Seriously, two minutes! He then bagged another in the 63rd. But he wasn’t done, setting up Marc Pubill for his first goal with Spain in the 31st. Pubill’s goal came just two minutes after Dion Drena Beljo had netted his first international goal for Croatia, briefly tying things up. Then, sub Nico Williams put the final nail in the coffin in the 89th to seal the victory. Yamal’s been going wild, bagging 11 goals in his last eight matches for both Spain and Barcelona. Coach Luis de la Fuente is stoked, saying Yamal is a “very generous footballer who puts all that talent at the service of the team.” No kidding!
Unbeaten Streak is Just Wild
This crew is just dominating, man. Their win over England at Wembley on Saturday, a 3-2 comeback thriller, pushed them to 39 games unbeaten. They’ve only dropped one of their last 16 Nations League group matches and are on a seven-game win streak in that competition. Croatia’s coach Slaven Bilic summed it up perfectly: “We know Spain are the best. There is no debate about that… They have been the best side for several years.” He saw “simply too much space” against them tonight. Honestly, who’s gonna stop them?
This Spanish squad is on an absolute tear, showing no signs of slowing down after their World Cup triumph. Watching them play right now is a masterclass in soccer, and we should all be hyped to see how long this insane run continues!
