While mikel oyarzabal

FIFA World Cup: European champions Spain have combined attacking quality with one of the strongest defensive displays in FIFA World Cup history to reach their first final since lifting the trophy in South Africa in 2010.

Luis de la Fuente's side will now face defending champions Argentina at MetLife Stadium on Monday , looking to add a second World Cup crown to their golden-era achievements.

Spain's journey has been built on balance. While Mikel Oyarzabal has emerged as the team's leading scorer with five goals, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has dazzled on the wings, and captain Rodri has controlled the midfield. Behind them, goalkeeper Unai Simon and a disciplined backline have conceded just one goal in seven matches, the best defensive record in the tournament.
