Spain Surpass Italy's Unbeaten Record, but Argentina's Loss Preserves Azzurri's World Cup Status
Spain has now set a new record for the longest unbeaten streak in international football, surpassing Italy's previous mark of 37 consecutive matches. However, a crucial defeat for Argentina means that two significant World Cup achievements held by the Italian national team remain intact.
The highly anticipated match, which extended into extra time, saw Ferran Torres ultimately secure the trophy for Spain against a 10-man Argentinian side.
Spain Shatters Italy's Unbeaten Record
With this victory, Spain has extended its own unbeaten run to 38 consecutive competitive games, breaking the historic 37-game record previously held by Italy under Roberto Mancini between 2018 and 2021.
While Italy's streak record has been surpassed, Argentina's loss presented an opportunity to potentially impact two other significant records for the Nazionale.
Currently, Italy and Germany stand as the only nations to have won the World Cup on four occasions, trailing behind Brazil's record of five titles. Argentina remains on three World Cup victories.
Furthermore, Italy is among an elite group of teams, alongside Brazil, to have successfully defended their World Cup title by winning two consecutive editions β Italy in 1934 and 1938, and Brazil in 1958 and 1962.
