The Spanish national team defeated Argentina (2:0) in the final of the 2026 World Cup and became the world champion for the second time. The match featured Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who became the tenth player in history to win the Champions League and the World Cup in the same season, playing in both finals. Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Sepp Maher, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner, Uli Hennes (all 1974), Christian Carambe (1998), Roberto Carlos (2002) and Raphael Varane (2018) have previously achieved this feat. Ruiz also broke the achievement of the Brazilian Garrinci, who spent 49 matches without defeat as part of the national team, in which he participated. Fabian has 50 matches in a row without defeat since the beginning of his career. The absolute record for this indicator is held by the Spaniard Carlos Marchena, who has 57 matches without defeat in a row. At the last World Cup-2026, Ruiz played eight matches in which he scored one goal. Available for viewing on media.
