Spain extend world record unbeaten run after victory over Croatia

On the cool Tuesday evening, under the bright lights of the stadium, the Spanish national team set a new milestone. After a convincing win over Croatia, Spain remained unbeaten and reached a record of forty consecutive matches without defeat.

Record breaks previous European milestones

With this achievement Spain surpassed the Italian side that remained unbeaten for thirty‑seven matches between 2018 and 2021. The Italian record had previously been equaled by Spain itself in 2009.

The Spanish squad has now gone two and a half years without defeat, a period during which it became both European and world champion. The record leaves many legendary nations, including Argentina and Brazil, far behind.
