Luis de la Fuente praised his ‘exceptional’ Spanish side after La Roja extended their unbeaten run to 30 competitive matches, breaking their previous team record.
Vicente del Bosque’s Spanish team previously went unbeaten for 29 league matches between the 2010 World Cup and the 2013 Confederations Cup final.
But De la Fuente’s European champions improved that mark with Saturday’s 4-0 win in Georgia, having gone 30 league games without defeat since losing 2-0 to Scotland in the Euro 2024 qualifier in March 2023.
Spain have won 25 and drawn five, including a penalty shoot-out win over the Netherlands in the Nations League quarter-finals, of their last 30 competitive matches.
They have suffered one friendly defeat in that time, a 1-0 loss to Colombia at the London Stadium in March 2024.
But the magnitude of Spain’s achievement was not lost on the head coach, who said: “I feel admiration and pride in leading an exceptional generation of footballers.
“To surpass a record set by an unforgettable group of players is a remarkable achievement.
This team is unreal. Well… actually we have a name for it…
WE ARE A RECORD BREAKING TEAM!!@SpainIsFootball is now undefeated for 30 MATCHES and has thus reached a new milestone in its history.

“We must continue to make progress, deliver results and make progress towards the exciting goals ahead.
“Georgia have good players, but they faced an ambitious Spanish team that wanted to play well and win. It is not a reflection of Georgia’s quality, but a testament to Spain’s performance.”
Spain is now almost certain to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, as it can only drop out of the top position in Group E if it loses to Turkiye in Seville by seven goals on Tuesday.
But De la Fuente refused to finish the job, saying: “This team has many virtues, including respect.
“Until we mathematically secure the qualification, we will continue to work in the same way. I am happy with the efforts of the players, but there is still a step to go.”
