Spain advance to the World Cup final after beating France 2-0 in their semi-final. The result extends Spain’s unbeaten streak to 37 consecutive matches, which matches Italy’s all-time European international record for a winless run at that length. The sources also note that Spain are close to an additional milestone: they are one victory away from securing a further unbeaten record and claiming the World Cup title.
Across the reports, Spain’s record is framed in terms of consistency in both recent World Cup and European competition knockout phases. One account states that Spain become the first European nation to win eight consecutive knockout matches across the World Cup and the Euros. Another notes that Spain last suffered a defeat in October 2023 and have gone on to win major tournaments since then. With the final next, Spain can add a standalone record by extending the streak further. The articles do not describe any changes to coaching or squad details beyond crediting head coach Luis de la Fuente and the team’s semi-final performance.
