Spain have etched their name into football history after defeating Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, adding another major international trophy to their remarkable recent run. La Roja's historic triumph was accompanied by several extraordinary team and individual records, highlighting the scale of their achievement on the biggest stage.
From an unprecedented unbeaten streak to Ferran Torres joining an exclusive World Cup final club, here are the major records Spain created following their World Cup victory over Argentina.
Spain Extend Historic Unbeaten Run to 38 Matches
Spain are now unbeaten in their last 38 matches across all competitions, the longest such run by any European or South American national team in history.
The incredible streak underlines Spain's remarkable consistency and dominance in international football. Having already enjoyed major success in recent years, La Roja capped their sensational run by lifting the biggest trophy of them all, the FIFA World Cup.
Spain Concedes Just One Goal Throughout the 2026 World Cup
Spain's success was built on an extraordinary defensive record. La Roja conceded just one goal across their eight matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the fewest goals ever conceded by a team during a World Cup-winning campaign.
Their near-perfect defensive performance proved crucial as Spain navigated the tournament and eventually overcame Argentina in the final.
Ferran Torres Joins Mario Götze in World Cup Final History
Ferran Torres became just the second substitute in history to score the winning goal in a FIFA World Cup final. Remarkably, the only previous player to achieve the feat was Germany's Mario Götze in 2014, also against Argentina.
Torres also became only the second Spanish player to score in a men's World Cup final, following Andrés Iniesta's legendary extra-time winner against the Netherlands in 2010.
Once again, an extra-time goal delivered World Cup glory for La Roja.
Aymeric Laporte Sets Incredible Unbeaten Tournament Record
Aymeric Laporte has now played more matches at the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship without losing than any other player in history.
The Spanish defender's remarkable record reflects his role in one of the most successful periods in the country's international football history.
Fabian Ruiz Reaches 50 Spain Caps Without a Defeat
Fabian Ruiz's international record is equally astonishing. The midfielder has never lost a single match across his first 50 appearances for Spain.
During that unbeaten international career, Ruiz has now won the UEFA Nations League, European Championship, and FIFA World Cup, completing an extraordinary collection of major international honors.
Pau Cubarsi Makes FIFA Young Player Award History
Spain's World Cup triumph will be remembered not only for the trophy itself but also for the historic records created along the way, further cementing La Roja's place among international football's greatest teams.
