Spain are set up for a decade of dominance: World and European champions will take some stopping as Lamine Yamal & Co. prepare to enter their peak years

Unai Simon won the Golden Glove at the 2026 World Cup after keeping seven clean sheets in eight appearances - a truly historic achievement, and yet it would be difficult to argue that the goalkeeper played a particularly important role in Spain's success because he barely had anything to do.

As former England No.1 Joe Hart pointed out on the BBC"No one laid a glove on Spain. They had just 10 shots on target against them in the whole tournament. Spain have got a way of playing that no one in the world has proven they can get anywhere near." And it's impossible to disagree.

Spain may not have been scintillating at the World Cup, but they were unstoppable. Some opponents may have managed to frustrate Luis de la Fuente's side, but nobody figured out how to hurt them, which begs the question, having now added a world title to the European crown they won in Germany two years ago, how many more trophies might this Spain side win in the coming years?
