Spain have made history in getting so far in a World Cup without conceding a goal.

As Sid Lowe says from Los Angeles, Unai Simón has had to fend off some very strong competition to keep the No 1 spot. fishroad-app.com

Not so long ago, Simón admitted that he had once wondered whether it was all worth it. Playing in goal, he says, can be a bit “thankless”. The front pages are for others. The good ones are, anyway: the “noise” was his. All year, he has been at the centre of the debate. How could he not be when Athletic Club were struggling and those competing with him are David Raya, the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, and Joan García, the best in La Liga? “Sod it, I’ll say it: we have the best goalkeepers at the World Cup,” Simón insisted a few days ago.

For Luis de la Fuente, though, it was never a debate, however insistent the noise got. He had coached Simón all the way through the youth teams, winning it all: the under-19 and under-21 Euros, Olympic silver, the Nations League, Euro 2024. They were practically family and now look: now Spain feel like Spain again and Simón has made history. No other country has ever reached the sixth game of a men’s World Cup without conceding.

España - Bélgica en directo | “Sabemos que el mejor Lamine en lo ofensivo está por llegar”

La selección española se mide a Bélgica en los cuartos de final con el objetivo de clasificarse para las semifinales y situarse, por segunda vez en su historia, entre las cuatro mejores selecciones del planeta. Desde la conquista del título en Sudáfrica 2010, España no ha vuelto a alcanzar esta ronda, por lo que el encuentro supone una oportunidad única. Con un equipo que ha mostrado solidez y un gran nivel de juego a lo largo del torneo, el conjunto dirigido por Luis de la Fuente buscará superar a la siempre competitiva Bélgica para seguir soñando con levantar un segundo Mundial y escribir una nueva página dorada en la historia de la selección española.
