De la Fuente says Mikel Merino never fails to disappoint in 2026 World Cup selection
The Spanish national team achieved an important victory over Portugal with a 1-0 score in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, thanks to a goal scored by substitute striker Mikel Merino after entering the pitch just a few minutes prior. Coach Luis de la Fuente praised Merino, considering him one of the best players in the world in his position, and noted that his exceptional performance reflects the team's strength, resilience, and defensive solidarity. This marks the first time Spain has reached the World Cup quarter-finals since 2010, with a strong defensive record that has kept its net intact for six consecutive matches.
