This impressive streak equals the historic milestone set by Italy between October 2018 and September 2021.
However, unlike Italy's truly unbeaten run under Roberto Mancini, Spain suffered a penalty shootout defeat to Portugal in the 2025 Nations League final.
Spain's Dominance in Numbers
Spain is responsible for six of the 11 instances where a European nation has gone undefeated for at least 25 consecutive games.
Five of these historic streaks occurred within the past 22 years.
This statistic highlights Spain's consistent strength and influence over global football during the last two decades.

Manager Luis de la Fuente has also relied heavily on Unai Simón, Aymeric Laporte, Lamine Yamal, and Mikel Oyarzabal to anchor his team.
De la Fuente has utilized 62 different players across the 37 matches.
The Long Journey Since March 2024
Spain's current undefeated streak began after a 1-0 loss to Colombia at the London Stadium in March 2024.
The run features victories against lower-ranked teams, alongside 11 crucial matches against top-tier opponents.
These high-profile fixtures include competitive clashes against Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal.
